The State Of Meteor Part 1: What Went Wrong

Back in 2014, LWN looked at the Meteor webapplication framework. Now, Meteor's developers are contemplatingwhy it failed to take over the world. "New developers love howeasy it is to get started with it, but can get discouraged when they startstruggling with more complex apps. And purely from a financial standpoint,it's hard to build a sustainable business on the back of new developershacking on smaller apps. On the other hand, many of the more experienceddevelopers who'd be able to handle (and help solve) Meteor's trickierchallenges are turned off by its all-in-one approach, and never even giveit a chance in the first place." They promise the imminentunveiling of a new approach that is going to address these problems.
