heck0045··on How did Einstein Think?

heck0045··on Meteor 0.8.0: Introducing the Blaze templating engine
The last major hurdle for 1.0 (as I understand it) is final integration work with Atmosphere and updates to the package management system. While this is no small feat, it is far less of an engineering hurdle than either Blaze or the opLog tailing which was implemented in 0.7.0.
heck0045··on Meteor 0.8.0: Introducing the Blaze templating engine
They are trying to solve the same problem: gatekeepers to any mutable data that affects your DOM -- but they do it in pretty different ways: (1) under the hood, Blaze tracks the DOM changes and applies them directly whereas React diffs the resultant HTML and applies the difference. (2) Blaze uses declarative templates for injecting HTML; React requires HTML to be built using virtual DOM elements in javascript.

Here is one of the React core developers (Pete Hunt) on React integration with Meteor: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qqVbr_LaCIo (note this is before Blaze)
