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.

Rust is same, each big company has their own build systems https://gist.github.com/rylev/0e3c3895dcb40b6a1c1cf8c427c01b5e

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

changes less

than Go syntax

Although, a lot changes on Javascript also all the time

Only constant is the change

So I don't know is it any different

I commented about Meteor here https://github.com/meteor/meteor/pull/10527#issuecomment-530443187

It's like, Yes I have thinked a lot how to rewrite Wekan. And still I have no idea is it possible at all.

This got me thinking, do I have programming language and web framework flamewar with myself here?

I think so.

Hmm, I feel so stupid.

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