Back in April last year I was writing about my recent discovery of the full stack javascript frameworks, and at the time I was thinking this was maybe going to be the way of the future in web development.
Well almost a year later, I have kept reading articles on these libraries and I have to admit I never really tested anything, and stuck to Django for my web projects.
Until this week where I heard about Meteor from a friend. And now I have to admit that even if I am a little reluctant to fully dive into this new tool due to the lack of a proper debugging for Javascript, I was more than impressed by the features it offers: fully responsive, live update, easy deployment, package system, thriving community, etc…
It will not kill Django and Rails overnight, they keep an edge for the backends, but if you have not already done so, try the demo project: a persistent collaborative todo list.
Some guys even wrote a Trello clone on github.
