When Angular 16 dropped on May 3rd, so did a lot of jaws. It's hard to believe that the Angular team was able to pack so much into a single release. In this episode of the podcast we talk with Minko Gechev of the Angular team about some of the most exciting features and what these improvements may mean for future versions of the framework.

Hydration is the process of taking a pre-rendered static HTML file and turning it into a fully functional interactive SPA by attaching JavaScript event listeners and state management. This allows for faster initial page load times and improved search engine optimization (SEO) while still retaining the benefits of a SPA. Currently, Angular performs hydration by destroying and rebuilding the entire DOM. This works, but it's not ideal. In this episode we welcome Ben Holmes to the show to learn about Astro. Astro is a modern static site builder and development framework that enables developers to create high-performance websites and applications. Ben shows us how this includes features like automatic code splitting, server-side rendering, and preloading to improve website performance and user experience.
