Magento 2 was first announced way back when in 2010, but a lot can change in IT over four years. There was not a lot of noise from the Magento camp until October 2013. Now there is a public repository with updates published weekly. In this talk we'll have a look at the current technical status, make a comparison to the first version of Magento and review the road ahead.
