I was formulating this exact argument in my head as I scrolled down the comments. Thankfully, you wrote it out more eloquently than I was going to.
Nothing in Angular is first-class because nothing in Angular is endemic to JS. Some are not bothered by this. Personally, I get frustrated without first-class features because I don’t feel like I can put my back up to any part of the language and be 100% sure of how it’s going to work/compile. Even worse, the hybridized language becomes a nightmare to debug since everything has to go through the Angular pseudo-VM.
