For those of us that don't spend every waking moment on Hacker News and thus have no idea what Meteor is, could someone please give a quick rundown of what this is and what it means and why I should care?
It's a realtime JavaScript framework that makes it very simple to sync data between multiple clients and a server. When data changes, views are automatically updated and re-rendered.
But I didn't remember that it was named 'meteor'.
