This looks extremely interesting, and reminds me a bit of Lunascript (http://asana.com/luna/). I'm very interested in who is paying for the development? I notice that there's no big tech company behind this and from the contact page I can see Meteor Development Group has an office in downtown San Francisco. So do you have any info on what the plan is regarding monetization?

Well, I am one of the Meteor devs, and I used to work at Asana :) Luna is an astonishing codebase, and Meteor is a small fraction of it in sophistication and functionality. But we think there's room for a lighter weight framework for the masses.

Monetization: We're still figuring that out. For now, we just want to see what people do with it. We think a lot about companies like redhat and mysql, and how they have been successful while building open ecosystems.
