We both think that application development is going to radically change in the future and we're both building products that promote a new way of developing apps. We're stoked about Meteor and see our products as very complementary.

One minor quibble.. I like to think of Meteor as an "application platform" rather than a framework, because we're trying to take on some problems that web frameworks don't always tackle, like packaging and deployment. Also, we don't require you to use a particular strategy for generating HTML. For example, it makes sense to use backbone.js with Meteor, if that's your thing. At the end of the day, Meteor is about how you make all of the pieces fit together in a distributed cloud application. (For better or worse, that's what websites have morphed into, when you think about all of the APIs and services they use.)
