Once
Startup people are generally optimists about new ideas. They get excited about an opportunity to solve a problem - even if the solution doesn’t work or there isn’t really a problem. Most of the time they’re wrong.
Normal people are pessimists. They often see no reason to try something new. Most of the time they’re right.
They don’t realize that being wrong 99% of the time is just fine. You only need to be right once.

Meteor
These days I see more and more updates coming to java script world, it is hard to catch up with the list.
Here is a new kid on the block Meteor (Write entire app in pure JavaScript). I think these 7 principal mentioned in their document pretty much sums it all up.
Looking forward to learning it…
7 Principal of Meteor
- Data on the Wire. Don’t send HTML over the network. Send data and let the client decide how to render it.
- One Language. Write both the client and the server parts of your interface in JavaScript.
- Database Everywhere. Use the same transparent API to access your database from the client or the server.
- Latency Compensation. On the client, use prefetching and model simulation to make it look like you have a zero-latency connection to the database.
- Full Stack Reactivity. Make realtime the default. All layers, from database to template, should make an event-driven interface available.
- Embrace the Ecosystem. Meteor is open source and integrates, rather than replaces, existing open source tools and frameworks.
- Simplicity Equals Productivity. The best way to make something seem simple is to have it actually be simple. Accomplish this through clean, classically beautiful APIs.
