This is great! Anyone know how far analogous initiatives are for competing projects?

It's been possible with React for quite some time[1], and it appears to be included in Angular 2[2]. [1]: https://github.com/mhart/react-server-example [2]: https://angular.io

Sorry to nitpick, but I don't think the React example is an analogous initiative. ;)

There is a huge gulf between "synchronously render a component in Node" and "asynchronously boot an app, marshall async data, render an async UI, and do it concurrently."

I touch on this a little bit in this talk[1], but the bulk of the work we've done over the last year is conventionalizing app boot and figuring out how to run multiple instances concurrently, cheaply.

Angular 2 is much more similar to what we're doing with FastBoot, and I'm excited to see where they go with that and crosspollinate ideas. (The work they're doing with Web Worker rendering is also very exciting.)

Looking forward to see this project grow. Haven't had the time to check it out, but as I've been using Ember for the past months, it looks very interesting.

One of the authors of FastBoot here. I'm happy to answer any questions anyone has.

(P.S. One thing I think that's pretty meta-cool about the FastBoot site is that it is, itself, a FastBoot site, running on Heroku.)
