I recently saw Adam's pinned tweet about Angular 2 which says :
Angular v2 doesn't seem like a "framework", but more like a library that sits on top of the web standards. And this my friends, is awesome.
Just wanted to ask what are the things Adam really liked about Angular v2 and how is Ionic framework going to leverage these new Angular 2 features?

What I really like about Angular2 is how the "directive" concept has gotten so much simpler. With a directive (component) now being an ES6 class, it has allowed Ionic2 to do some really cool things to simplify code. What used to be
$scopeis now the component's instance ofthis, which again fits well as to how code and views are wired up together. Ionic v2's development is coming along great and we're very pleased with the results so far. We'll keep the community posted when it's ready for a developer preview.
