When I had to learn Python to do my job, I read a few pages on python.org, and one of the things it mentioned was that &#x27;a python developer can do in a month what a C++ developer can do in a year&quot;.<p>Expressive, concise code is always a good thing.<p>Meteor is excellent for MVPs and POCs; there are a lot of people out there with big ideas, but limited budgets to test out those ideas.<p>In Meteor, you can access your collections from the client and the server; and the vast number of packages on atmosphere makes writing a webapp in Meteor feel more like assembling lego than anything.<p>The speed at which we can write software is tightly correlated with our ability to innovate quickly; test things out, keep what works and throw away what doesn&#x27;t.<p>I&#x27;ve developed things for clients in Meteor, in a matter of weeks what others have failed to deliver in year<p>90% or so startups fail, not because your front and backend were too tightly coupled, but because of a whole variety of other reasons. Given that most of that code will end up in the bin anyway, might as well focus on quantity, and switch to something more robust when need be.
