Meteor.js is a futuristic web framework that allows for realtime functionality out of the box. It features live reload for fast development and plenty of packages available through Atmosphere and NPM. Meteor also has built-in authentication and user accounts through services like Facebook, Twitter, and Google. Working with database collections through MongoDB is simple without needing callbacks. Deployment to meteor.com is straightforward and CSS/JS are automatically minified. While Meteor does not enforce an app structure, it aims to be fully supported on mobile in the future.
