Wait - I just looked at the SailsJS docs, and it looks like Sails is like Tower -- that is to say, a Rails-style framework with better WebSocket support (really, more like Merb+DataMapper, because of the easy json api + agnostic ORM).
But if that'd be the case, it's a very different thing from Derby/Meteor/SocketStream, where so much code is shared from client+server that the apps can often run offline and then sync data.
- dylanhassinger 13y agoYes, they have different goals - by design, Sails is frontend-agnostic. But we want to add a layer that supports the "template syncing" concept, however it will be an add-on on top of Sails core. Aside from that, Sails brings a lot to the table (awesome ORM, asset pipeline, built-in API, etc). All we need are OTs and things'll be rockin :D
- egeozcan 13y agoThe only thing I don't like with Sails is the ORM, actually. I was wishing for something like Mongoose.
