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.

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

                  Although I would think most likely FreePascal syntax

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