You guys should focus on authentication. Because this thing is practically useless without it. I'm aware of the authentication branch but this update broke it.

There's no link to examples or a direct link to the relevant documentation. You have to figure out the difference between 'constant' and 'preserve'.<p>And one of their principles states: "One Language. Write both the client and the server parts of your interface in JavaScript."<p>Yet you still have to learn a separate template language, deal with the DOM, browser inconsistencies, etc.<p>To be fair, if you did do everything in javascript including the user interface, it ends up looking like java (see dojo, google closure, dart, qooxdoo). Javascript isn't well suited for a user interface or template language, but there are dozens of alternatives, some of which are more friendly to declarative UIs: <a href="https://github.com/jashkenas/coffee-script/wiki/List-of-languages-that-compile-to-JS" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/jashkenas/coffee-script/wiki/List-of-lang...</a>

Why would you name this the same thing as a popular iterative map reduce implementation?

I agree that the name should be changed. If someone said they built their product "using Spark", it would be fairly ambiguous as to which one they meant, especially if their product has a data mining component.<p>[<a href="http://www.spark-project.org/" rel="nofollow">http://www.spark-project.org/</a>]<p>Meteor Spark looks pretty nice though; look forward to trying it out.

Can Spark be used as a standalone library, without the rest of Meteor? That would be pretty cool and I suspect it would be very successful.

Yay, more data binding libraries. This one needs some better examples before I'll be able to understand at a glance how it works. I currently do my data binding with AngularJS.<p>Btw, this feature sort of already exists in jQuery. <a href="http://api.jquery.com/link/" rel="nofollow">http://api.jquery.com/link/</a>

How possible would it be to use something like Spark or Derby.js's Racer in a django site?<p>I like the realtime concept/behavior but I want to keep developing in django.

It will be cool if Meteor could be packaged in a gem and be embedded in parts of a Rails app where client side interaction is heavy.

Looks good. I would be interested to see a side-by-side comparison with <a href="http://opalang.org" rel="nofollow">http://opalang.org</a>, though.
