Deep clone objects
Also curious if someone has anything to say about Vue/Nativescript. That would be my choice as well. I'm constantly wondering why React Native gets all the attention when Nativescript seems to have so much going for it.
OK, some stuff is nice (async), but seems like the standard keeps adding syntactic sugar while not addressing more pressing daily challenges, i.e. deep cloning (Object.assign does not go deep).
My kids to go Meridian, which so far has been a fantastic school and is about 1/3 the price of a private school in the U.S. (I see that PBS is almost as expensive as ISP, which is very high). What is your citizenship? Any issues with moving to the U.S.? My advice would be to go for 3 months and try it out (maybe in the summer when the kids are out of school). All I can say is that I loved living in LA, but I would never do it with a family (unless I was a lot more wealthy than I am now). Good luck!
I'm an American who grew up on the East Coast, went to USC (Los Angeles) for university (left in 1990), later worked for a San Fran company and have been living in Prague for 15 years so I may have some perspective for you. Long story short, LA and San Fran are fantastic for single people or married working couples w/out kids. Once kids enter the equation, your perspective changes. You are not going to find cheap, good schools in those cities. And unlike Prague, will not want your 7 year old to ride the buses/metro alone. LA weather is fantastic, no doubt. Its the thing I miss most. The thing I don't miss is the traffic. Literally bumper to bumper crawling along at a snail's pace will drive you crazy after a while. Farther south in Orange County is an option, but housing is pretty expensive and the traffic is not a whole lot better. San Fran is even more expensive to live plus the weather is not as good as LA. I understand opinions will vary, but as someone with direct experience with all 3 cities you mentioned, there is a reason that I'm still in Prague :)
I know of 2 in Prague. One in Těšnov 5 and the other in Komerční bank on Václavské Náměstí. Surprising how many people are scared to ride the whole loop.
"I'm glad I'm not the only one"
You're not the only one, but we're being steamrolled by the Java crowd and I'm afraid that we're in a losing position. Angular is the first of many to come.
As someone who works in this field, there actually are government standards and working groups that involve all the vendors. I'm talking about in the U.S. - Europe has a much more varied ecosystem and standards appear harder to agree upon. In the U.S. the standard is the Consolidated Clinical Document Architecture (C-CDA)(http://www.healthit.gov/policy-researchers-implementers/cons...). The government body involved is the ONC (Office of the National Coordinator)(http://www.healthit.gov/newsroom/about-onc). The only problem at the moment is the finalization of the draft proposals and the vendor-specific interpretations of the standard. It's getting there but obviously the details are slow to work out.

Agree. For me, best practice is to use JSON-RPC for our client to server communication and expose a REST interface for 3rd party CRUD operations.
What about jsonrpc (http://json-rpc.org/)? I am using it in a project and I really appreciate the simplicity. Would be curious to hear from others who have experimented with it.
