Had you ever heard of Durandal JS[^]?
It was a competitor to Angular back in the day (back in the day here means, not long ago).
Anyways, Durandal gave up apparently because if you to to the site you will see that main site suggests you use Aurelia instead. (You can see a snapshot of the home page => https://i.stack.imgur.com/OrUoy.png[^]
Durandal gave up.
The Next Question
What if Aurelia decides to do the same?

Angular didn't so use that.

Wait. Are you saying that Angular is dead too?* It's about time.
I'd rather use Razor anyways.
Disclaimer*: I know Angular is not dead. I was just trolling the JS devs out there.

Good riddance. One down, about 3.14 million left to go - and the big Tamale, JavaScrapt itself.

His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

That's why I was announcing it's demise too.
Almost every day you hear of a new one, but you rarely get the good news that one has died.

Former Durandal user here. Aurelia is really the new version of Durandal; I'm not sure it "gave up."
Longer version: The author of Durandal, Rob Eisenberg, was hired by Google to work on Angular 2. Rob works on it for several months, only to leave Google over differences in its technical direction.
Later, Rob gets hired by Microsoft. In the meanwhile, he launches Aurelia, which is Durandal evolved into the vision he had for Angular 2.

I kind of thought it might be something like that...but that isn't near as funny.
Actually that is a very interesting story of Durandal's history. Thanks for sharing.

Sounds like Durnadal just renamed themselves as Aurelia...

I thought you were the human representation of Yoda. Are you saying Yoda is redundant?
Edit: after reading my post, I see the dilemma. Either Yoda is redundant of you, or you are redundant of Yoda.

Almost.
At one point in my career I came to loggerheads with a manager, who was playing the office politics power game.
Anyway, he basically managed to corner me into making a stupid move, that I didn't see coming, and that was going to get me brought up in front of a disciplinary committee, which by his own words "He was going to make sure ruled in his favor".
Long story short, he rumbled his own attempt, when earlier in the day before the hearing was to take place, he pulled me to one side when we passed out in the corridor, and with derision and a sneer, politely informed me that after the hearing that afternoon, he was not only going to make sure I had no job left, but also make sure that all other I.T companies in the area, and recruitment firms would see what a bad employee I was, and would freely circulate a bad character reference among those that asked about me.
Realizing what was at stake, and still having a few hours of time left, I put together a quick bailout plan.
I was coming down with the beginnings of a cold that day, so I wrote a letter of resignation, in the letter I cited my reasons for resigning based on health issues, and then sniffling slightly, and looking generally unwell I marched upstairs to the 3rd floor and handed my resignation, directly to my managers boss, who was genuinely shocked that I was leaving, we had a cup of coffee and a quick chat, and he handed my letter to the HR person who started to process it right their and then, and I got confirmation that the company would give me a good clean record and references based on the work I had done.
I went back down to my office, and was saying my goodbyes to my collegues etc, when my manager stormed in yelling & screaming, and spitting fire.... tore a strip off me in front of my team mates. He was very angry and red in the face, beacuse he knew there was bugger all he could do at that point, and as I left the building he followed me out still trying to berate me, but I just let it wash over me.
His political game had been going on for months, and at that point in time I felt like a great weight had been lifted off of me, so I let him do what he had to do and kept walking.
As a last ditch attempt he screamed at building security to stop and search me, and detain me to make sure I didn't have anything I shouldn't have, so I walked up to the security desk calmly opened my bag let them look inside, got the nod picked my bag up and just kept walking.
Even outside, he stood at the door shouting at me, words tot he effect he'd make sure I never worked in I.T again.
I later found out from some of my colleagues who left not long after I, that he'd been doing similar things to them, the only ones who didn't get this treatment where those who 100% aligned themselves with his politics, many of my ex colleagues I spoke to after that, said until the point I did what I did, they didn't realize they had a way out, and where actually in similar situations, IE: having potential dismissals hanging over them.
Within about 3 months of me leaving, half of the development team resigned, and the manager was given a managerial role elsewhere in the company, with the new dev manager, moved up from those actually left on the dev team. I hear now, that it's one of the best places in the area to work, and I still occasionally keep in touch with some of the folks who still work their.
