I didn't know there were any other attempts at a "universal" platform since Meteor. Thanks for sharing! Please let me know if there are others that you think are worth learning.

Here's one for Scala (and Scala.js): https://udash.io/ . It has a lot of cool concepts, like out-of-the-box push notification support with WebSockets. And I am more familiar with Scala than anything else so it is attractive. The only thing that gives me pause is that I've used Scala.js in the past, and its compile times are not something I want to deal with again after using faster transpilers like BuckleScript.
Finally, the one I'm keeping my eye on is https://dockyard.com/blog/2018/12/12/phoenix-liveview-intera... . The idea here is to serve static HTML with a minimal bit of JavaScript needed to maintain a live connection to the server, over a WebSocket, and drive dynamism that way. Think React+Redux, but driven from the server side. The client can be mostly a dumb client again. This one has a promising future, with lots of optimizations and benefits falling out of using the Erlang runtime properly.
