gulp-watch uses chokidar which uses fsevents which is much better than fs polling or relying on fs.watch.
fsevents use only one FD per watch invocation as opposed to one FD per watched directory and any subdirectory.
this should improve the situation with EMFILE errors (caused by lack of available file descriptors)
----
I also tried the following:
gulp-sane: requires watchman installation via brew so I didn't want to request that everyone goes throught that yet
gulp-chokidar: didn't work, seems to be obsolete
Special regexp tokens were allowed unchanged previously, which incorrectly broke
the include/exclude behaviour. Now, they're escaped first.

By default, gulp-typescript currently depends on typescript 1.4, which doesn't work for us.
For example, it doesn't allow `let` when emitting ES5, along with lots of other errors.
It so happens that npm sometimes makes this work, as seen by the warning
```npm WARN unmet dependency /Users/alexeagle/Projects/angular/node_modules/gulp-typescript requires typescript@'1.4.1' but will load
npm WARN unmet dependency /Users/alexeagle/Projects/angular/node_modules/typescript,
npm WARN unmet dependency which is version 1.5.0```
but when we update our node_modules in a certain way, we lose this setup and it breaks.
We should be explicit about using a different version of typescript than gulp-typescript depends on.
Update `TemplateCompiler` transform step to use abstractions used by the
render `Compiler`. For example, template code is now loaded via an
instance of `TemplateLoader` and external resources are fetched via an
instance of `XHR`.
previously there was a chance of race conditions that could sporadically fail the build.
additionally runing a task via gulp.start or runSequence always reruns its dependencies, which meant that we were blowing away
the build.tools build and rebuilding everything from scratch even during the interactive/watch mode. This meant that the build
pipeline cache was destroyed on every change and we never got the benefit of incremental compilation
tree-differ:
- export both TreeDiffer and DiffResult interface
diffing-broccoli-plugin:
- factory class for wrapping DiffingBroccoliPlugins and turning them into BroccoliTrees
broccoli-dest-copy:
- refactor into DiffingBroccoliPlugin
broccoli-traceur:
- refactor into DiffingBroccoliPlugin
Previously, karma used a custom preprocessor. Instead, have karma
run built dart from the `dist` folder and use gulp and broccoli
to watch for changes.
Using string1 === string2 translates to identical(string1, string2) in
dart, which is incorrect as it is possilbe for dart strings to have
different reference.
Add a step that reads `DirectiveMetadata` object off annotated classes
into `.ng_meta.dart` files. These will be used by the `TemplateCompiler`
step as inputs to the Angular 2 render compiler.
Update one test to avoid unsupported functionality, format others.
Due to limitation of system build, the router cannot have its own sfx
bundle.
Fixes an issue with RouteConfig decorator by moving it into its own
file.
