Meteor: Etherpad Founder & Other Rockstars Team Up To Make Web App Development A Breeze

Web apps look a lot different today than they did a decade ago. Today, in the era of smart clients, web and native apps have to communicate with an array of distributed cloud services, and, while legacy infrastructure remains, these new frameworks present ever-trickier problems for app developers. Having to deal with creating software that runs across data centers, communicates with intelligent devices, and integrates with software built by scores of third-parties? Not so simple. Launching without much fanfare today is a new startup called Meteor that is looking to significantly reduce the friction inherent to developing modern web apps with "a new application platform for this new era." According to the startup's mission statement, the platform is based on "smart packages," or bundles of code that are essentially adaptable, allowing them to run on a client or a cloud service and can "manage their lifetime inside the modern distributed environment."
