Ask HN: what is your opinion of meteor?

(for those who don't know what I'm talking about: https://www.meteor.com/ )

Meteor is very "omakase" (opinionated) framework.

It's being developed as a "product" by funded start-up, unlike rails or django which were created to help build a product for a company, and relies on a lot of bleeding edge technologies (mongodb database for example).

It's also competing with products from companies with some really smart people (e.g. blaze vs react by facebok).

I haven't personally worked with any developers who have experience meteor. I was wondering where the communities opinion of the framework stands? Is it an overly ambitious technical experimentation, or the future of web development?

That's the first place I started! There's not a lot of discussion around the current release (0.8), so much has changed since the project started I wanted some more topical information.

I doubt you'll find anyone willing to discuss Meteor (again), without a significant changelog entry or something hugely different happens with the product.

Possibly one of the most over-discussed products ever, IMHO.
