Keynote: Accelerating developer experience in Angular
summary
Announcements list concrete changes and outcomes for Angular 15–16: Standalone components and a migration generator land in v15.2 and make NgModules optional, a new project flag creates a module‑free starter in v16, and the directive composition API lets one component automatically apply multiple directives. Debugging gains Chrome DevTools source‑map support to hide framework frames, router work shaves 11% router bundle reduction when features are unused, ESBuild experiments produce 57% faster cold builds (7s → 3.67s), and the ngSrc image directive plus warnings target LCP improvements.
