Using Meteor as a front-end library

Thanks for this. I have similar requirements (back-end already provided), which is why it was natural to choose Angular. But with the work done in Meteor 0.6.5 and guides like yours, I would have chosen Meteor.<p>For those curious as to why I would choose Meteor over Angular: reason #1 is existing familiarity with Meteor, but a close #2 is that I would have to write much less code to accomplish the same things.

Did meteor ever fix the big startup delay that makes your app look like a blank screen for 5 seconds when you first browse to it?

Isn&#x27;t there the spark rendering engine that can be used independent of meteor? <a href="https://github.com/meteor/meteor/wiki/Spark" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;meteor&#x2F;meteor&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Spark</a><p>I haven&#x27;t tried it, but it seems like cleaner approach than cutting the patient in half.

Very interesting. I will give this a try. I&#x27;ve been a fan of Meteor for a while and have worked with both Ember and Angular. I usually end up longing for certain aspects of Meteor in both of those frameworks.

Meteor looked interesting until I discovered it&#x27;s dependent on node v.0.8.25 :(
