How possible would it be to use something like Spark or Derby.js's Racer in a django site? I like the realtime concept/behavior but I want to keep developing in django.

For the real-time data synchronization part, try dropping dotCloud JS into your Django app: http://js.dotcloud.com

It doesn't do live templating, though.

It will be cool if Meteor could be packaged in a gem and be embedded in parts of a Rails app where client side interaction is heavy.

The whole idea of Meteor is to abstract away the server-side APIs commonly found in JS apps.

How does rails fit into that picture at all?

Backbone.js and Ember.js are already great for working with rails/REST apps...

But, how much would I need to write to update the data in realtime as it changes in the backend?
