I honestly think the best comparable stack now is Phoenix in Elixir with LiveView, especially if you're drawn to the realtime web aspect. And probably hosted on Fly.io where you can get a push-button start with database included (Postgres or SQLite). Great developer productivity, wonderful small community that manages to move together, rock solid, high performance for IO, little to no magic, you can take it from hobby horse to the major races. Excellently designed with both developer and application growth in mind, by which I partly mean that more advanced areas tend to be tucked away (but by no means hidden) until you feel you need them.
That said there's more to learn than with Meteor and there aren't Elixir devs growing under the steps of every apartment building like with JS.
