Would you choose Meteor today?

Wekan / General · April 15, 2020 at 2:24pm (Edited 4 years ago)

I played around with Meteor in 2012, but in the end I left the framework behind because I felt that bigger projects would get pretty "bloated" over time. So I thought of Meteor as "suitable for smaller real-time based projects".

After working on Wekan for some time - would you choose Meteor again if you had to start over today? If not, which stack would you choose?

That's a very hard question. I have looked does some other stack have all the same components that Wekan currently already has.

    Also I did not select Meteor. Original author of Wekan mquandalle did. I did continue maintaining Wekan after Wekan already existed.

      Well, I already burned by fingers with Go at some other work project. I was not able to get Go server binary on Windows Server so stable that it would not crash, without success, so not Go.

        Rust takes huge amount of time to build that binary, and code is so cryptic, I can not figure out Rust.

          I do like BaCon Basic https://www.basic-converter.org/ + SQLite + webserver as single executeable and .db file. Writing that code was for very tiny example was nice. But it does not have all the libraries of Meteor etc.

            I have looked Haxe a little, but not all required dependencies are there yet.
