Hey everyone. I’d love to put together a video on the most common misconceptions about Meteor and debunk them. I have my own ideas such as:
Only good for real time
Meteor isn’t modern
Meteor can’t scale
What are the most common misconceptions you hear other people say about Meteor? I think clearing these up will reduce the FUD around devs picking up Meteor as an option.
I’d be interested in comparing Meteor vs Webpack in terms of build times. My perception is that this is one of Meteor’s biggest issues but if it’s not actually that much slower then it’d be worth doing a video about it.
Can you configure webpack to work exactly as the Meteor build tool does? Because IMO that would be the only way to validly compare the performances of both.
I’m preparing a video on the internals of livequery. My team is expanding quite fast and I’m tired of explaining this over and over. I think people not understanding the internals is the main problem people think Meteor doesn’t scale. The mongo code is also quite complex, but the concepts and trade-offs are easy to grasp when properly explained.
I’ve decided that we’re going to do a Syntax.fm episode on Meteor and some of the FUD and misconceptions surrounding it. I plan on keeping it super positive and a general overview on what it has to offer and what makes it special.
