- Its architecture allows the creation of simple SPAs, without needing to utilize numerous libraries
- The language design is very elegant and most developers are delighted by this aspect
Disadvantages
- The simplistic type system can cause frustration generated by all the boilerplate
- It’s a client-side only language lacking support for isomorphic applications
- Code splitting is not supported
