Meteor alternatives?

Wekan / General · June 20, 2019 at 2:53am

Hey guys, I built an Open Source app in Meteor a while ago (it actually had Kanban functionality as well, funnily enough), but as we all know Meteor is showing it's age and the community seems to now be non-existent.

What tech stack would you guys recommend as a modern alternative to Meteor? Any plans for Wekan to migrate to something else?

I really would love to not have to start from scratch on my project, but I don't really think I have a choice anymore with Meteor. Between the memory consumption and build sizes, it's just no longer a feasible option.

In Haxe case if some programming language shoots itself into foot, I could compile to some other programming language.

    Although currently Haxe 4.0 beta is in heavy development, there is some breaking changes so that some haxetink https://haxetink.github.io libraries do not work, and those breaking changes are such that currently they are impossible to abstract over, it needs some fixes

      They are just thinking of it as a sport to install always latest Haxe nightly and latest git version and fix things in the fly as they come

        It's the same as do Ruby on Rails users, they follow current git version https://github.blog/2019-09-09-running-github-on-rails-6-0/

                  Does this need to be "move fast and break things" ?

                    Yes it's also about libraries that each programming language has

                      Go has a lot of libraries available, and Go syntax changes less than other programming languages

                                              also changing frameworks all the time is not a way to make some progress
