Hey everyone! The four of us have been working very hard on this for the last six months, and we're excited to finally take the wraps off. Can't wait to hear what you think! We've got a lot more stuff coming over the next few months, and if there are particular things you'd like us to do/prioritize, I'd love to hear about them!

looks amazing..hope to see this take the position of Rails!

Pairing Meteor with Blossom[1] would basically close the loop on writing high-performance mobile HTML5 apps. (Blossom recently went full native on mobile -- the platform runtimes are no longer needed.) [1] https://github.com/fohr/blossom

Can you expand on this? To me it seems like Meteor accomplishes the same thing as Blossom, on the web platform at least, except that it does HTML /templating instead of rendering to a canvas. I bet it would be hard to reconcile the two different frameworks ideas of what Observable or Subscriber/Subscription looks like as well.

Is GPL really viable for a web framework? The Free Software Foundation has consistently held that linking to GPL code (not LGPL) is derived work.

"If the GPL doesn't work for your project, get in touch (contact@meteor.com) and we will write you a commercial license to your specifications. We are happy to be flexible. What's important is that we have a conversation about how you are using Meteor, and what support and further development you need, so we can keep everyone in the community on the same page."

Earlier quoted context omitted.

We've actually written a lot of testing for the core framework packages -- those tests are in each package directory. Look for *_test.js files. https://github.com/meteor/meteor/tree/master/packages/ You're 100% right though. We don't have a fully baked story yet for application level testing. It's something we're trying to push forward as soon as we can.

From product adoption perspective, you guys are going to win a lot more users if you can support the following scenario: 1) unit-tests 2) integration-tests 3) provide at least guidance/best-practices on client-side testing in the _headless_ scenario (no complex setup of remote machines with 3-4 browsers installed etc) People may have their opinions about testing UI/client-side (is it end-to-end? is it worth? not test…

Or even those of us (like myself) who are currently on the Rails boat!

Is anybody paying you to work on this full-time?

Judging from the "About Us" page, it sounds like these guys are "financially independent" enough already...

yeah... the "people" section makes me feel very unaccomplished :-(

Bravo! The earth has been waiting for this. ;)
