Components: funny prefix

Created on 17 Feb 2017  路  3Comments  路  Source: angular/components

Styling is no longer prefixed by md-. All styling is now prefixed by mat-.

Russian developers are having a laugh here, because in russian mat means foul language.

Should have gone for something simpler and more neutral, like mt-.

Ha, well, that's good to know! The decision has been made to mat- though, and in the interest of not stressing out our community, we'd prefer not to roll out another large breaking change just to change the prefix.

Can't really accommodate all languages. mat is short for material and to me sounds really good :P
