Meteor is basically a Javascript framework/platform that focuses on building full-stack, soft-realtime Javascript applications. It’s a walled garden with it’s own set of Meteor-specific packages, which is fantastic for unbelievably rapid development, but less so for long-term development.

It’s also intimately tied to MongoDB, with a focus on having the “database everywhere”, so you can run pseudo-MongoDB queries on the client against a limited set of documents published to the client from the server.
