+1 for referencing meteor. I'm still flummoxed every time I try a new web framework and it can't do what meteor did without mountains of boilerplate. I starred your repo and will give it a try soon.
I’m 100% convinced I would never have learned to code without Meteor… it made so many things simpler. You should check out wasp[0], which has a lot of philosophy in common. Disclosure: I am investor in the company behind the project.
