Hi meteor.com team. I've scanned the home page and even looked at some other links on the site. I still don't know what this does. Is it a javascript library? Or template maker? A project packager? I have a lot to do and very little time. Can you make a quick video that describes why I should use Meteor and what it does for me? Thanks!

Basically, yes to all. In terms of scope it's roughly as encompassing as something like Rails - it's full stack.

  Ah thanks. But if Rails is my coding platform of choice how does this integrate into it?
  - chm 12y ago
    Meteor uses NodeJS.

    It doesn't.

    It doesn't, this is a separate coding platform. If your coding platform is Rails, you don't integrate Django into it.

It is a full stack web framework, where you write in 100% JavaScript on the client and server, sharing much of the code with isomorphic APIs. It is not meant to be used on top of Rails, but rather as a full replacement for the combination of, say, Rails+Ember.
