One such framework that deserves the spot to be on the top of the upcoming JS framework is Meteor.
Meteor? A shooting star?
Yes to the general audience. But for the programmers and tech savvies, the story is entirely different. Meteor is an open-source JavaScript framework that was constructed/written using Node JavaScript. It is mainly used for prototyping and also for producing cross-platform codes.
