I think your comparison with Meteor is not fair. You are not obliged to use Meteor in back and front, you can have a meteor backend and load a DDP client in about any language.
And as I&#x27;m doing one right now you can have a only front application talking to a rest server. So it&#x27;s more flexible than what you tell in your comparison. Also I might not be fair because I&#x27;m a Meteor addict :D
