Meteorjs was like this, even simpler I would say. But their Achilles heel was minimongo tie in and scalability issues.

meteor is still around.

That said, phoenix/elixir's live view accomplishes the same thing in a database agnostic way. its sync system is built on channels and scales WAY better than meteor ever could.

try phoenix's liveview. Beam is built for scaling thousands to millions of stateful processes on a cluster. That at its core was the biggest bottleneck for meteor and for elixir, its more or less a solved problem unless you're talking about google or amazon levels of traffic
