Meteor – The Next Big Thing

Meteor is a agil, cool framework for web applications. It uses javascript, node.js and mongodb. Some sort of Javascript on Rails, but much better or LNMJ for Linux Node Mongodb and Javascript instead of LAMP.

I am pretty sure this will be a Next Big Thing. Simply because node.js is some sort of Big Thing, as is mongodb or other nosql databases (as neo4j) and javascript as a programming language isn't the little (dirty) brother of java anymore. And all that needs a cool framework - meteor. And they have a strong financial background. Hopefully we get a lib for neo4j in meteor soon and i can run altogether on my favorite SmartOS.
