I agree that the name should be changed. If someone said they built their product "using Spark", it would be fairly ambiguous as to which one they meant, especially if their product has a data mining component. [ http://www.spark-project.org/ ] Meteor Spark looks pretty nice though; look forward to trying it out.

That's what I thought they were talking about, too.

Looks good. I would be interested to see a side-by-side comparison with http://opalang.org, though.

  Does Meteor have an rss feed for their blog?

Earlier quoted context omitted.

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.

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

Something like this:

    var people = dotcloud.sync.synchronize('people');
    people.observe(function(type, change) {
        // Update template here
    });

There's a live demo here: http://jsfiddle.net/q2q8b/31/
