Question

Why is the component in this simple plunk

  selector: \'my-app\',
  template: `
I\'m {{message}} 
`,
})
export class App {

As stated by drewmoore, the proper solution in this case is to manually trigger change detection for the current component. This is done using the detectChanges() method of the ChangeDetectorRef object (imported from angular2/core), or its markForCheck() method, which also makes any parent components update. Relevant example:

import { Component, ChangeDetectorRef, AfterViewInit } from 'angular2/core'

@Component({
  selector: 'my-app',
  template: `
I'm {{message}} 
`,
})
export class App implements AfterViewInit {
  message: string = 'loading :(';

  constructor(private cdr: ChangeDetectorRef) {}

  ngAfterViewInit() {
    this.message = 'all done loading :)'
    this.cdr.detectChanges();
  }

}

Here are also Plunkers demonstrating the ngOnInit, setTimeout, and enableProdMode approaches just in case.
