Meteor is a simple, complete web framework with the goal of giving developers of any skillset the ability to build robust web applications in a fraction of the time. Meteor is pretty close to what we've used throughout this book—it relies exclusively (at the time of writing) on MongoDB as a primary data store and uses Handlebars for HTML templates. It features a handy CLI tool that you can use to scaffold new projects very quickly.

The Meteor website (http://meteor.com) is shown in the following screenshot:

It is quickly gaining traction and becoming increasingly popular every day—currently, its GitHub repo has over 17,000 stars!
