#34Earlier quoted context omitted.
I'm in the process of learning Backbone and just read about Meteor, so I might be completely wrong on this. But it seems like Backbone and Meteor are trying to solve different problems, and aren't mutually exclusive. Backbone is server-agnostic, and Meteor is somewhat client-agnostic, so you could use Meteor to do the data synchronization and automatic updating, while structuring your client app using Backbone.
I see. I knew they were different but I thought there was considerable overlap in what they did.
I saw no overlap in the demos. What did you see as overlap?

#35A side question, which seems worth asking as long as this is floating at the top of HN ... We try to rotate in fresh projects into the list of Backbone apps on the homepage: http://backbonejs.org/#examples ... but there are often many more interesting things out there in the wild than we're necessarily aware of -- for example: Rdio, the new GoogleArtProject.com, and Pitchfork.com.

#37I was thinking of learning Backbone soon until I read about Meteor yesterday. Is there any point in learning Backbone, or should I just go the Meteor route?
Learning Backbone is a great way to get practice with MVC and the "Observer" pattern if you haven't done it before.
Also it's a much better way of organizing your DOM structure than a bunch of loose jQuery calls.

yep, backbone has been a huge timesaver. 13 model/collection types, 24 views and counting.

I wrote http://www.mineconics.net using Backbone, it solved my jQuery spaghetti and reduced my LoC by about 25%, it made it easier to add new features as well. Thanks for Backbone!
