The Signal pattern is in place since the beginning in the Solid Js library and is based on the push/pull pattern.
As the name suggests, pull allows you to retrieve the value and push allows you to set a new one or to mutate it.
Anyway a signal always has a value and the retrieval of this value is always done synchronously.
In version 16 of Angular, the pattern base API will be integrated and will allow to get more performance in the way Angular handles change detection.

Angular Signals developer preview
This release includes the first developer preview of Angular's new reactivity primitives: signal, computed, and effect. See the signals guide for details and the Angular Signals RFC for more background.
Enhanced hydration developer preview
Previously, when Angular bootstrapped on a page that was server-side rendered or compile-time pre-rendered, the framework would discard any existing DOM nodes and re-render from scratch. With v16's enhanced hydration support, you can opt into Angular reusing these existing DOM nodes. This developer preview feature can improve page load performance in many scenarios. See the full hydration guide for details.
Faster builds with the esbuild developer preview
v16 brings you the developer preview of Angular CLI's new builders based on esbuild. This new architecture can significantly improve build times in many scenarios. This preview additionally includes integration with Vite powering the CLI's development server.
Standalone component migration and scaffolding
To support developers transitioning their apps to standalone APIs, Angular v16 includes migration schematics and a standalone migration guide. These tools dramatically reduce the effort required to move your code to standalone components, directives, and pipes. Visit the standalone migration guide for details.
