What does the next step in the evolution of Node.js look like? One answer to that question is Meteor. I found their screencast very interesting:
The idea of having a built-in framework that takes care of updates for you, on the fly, is compelling. I also liked the example of being able to work with the MongoDB data right from the client (that also scares me).
I’m not ready to abandon all other web development platforms and move strictly to Meteor, but I’ll definitely be watching it. I’d like to dig deeper into the details of what makes Meteor tick.
