Reflections of an “Old” Programmer

Do the web based office suites use these new libraries and frameworks? (React, Angular, Webpack etc) Genuine question as I thought that companies like Google use their own in house libraries like Google Closure which have been slowly built up over many years.

Google Apps use Closure, and after taking a peek at the source of Microsoft's online office apps, they appear to be using Script# or a similar C# to JS tool, as I see lots of references to namespaces, and lots of calls to dispose() methods.

iCloud's office apps use Sproutcore, which eventually forked into Ember (though the original Sproutcore project still exists).

Probably not Google Apps. But Angular is a Google developed framework.
