Node.js Frameworks Comparison

The last point the op makes is that you don't need a nodejs framework if you're using backbone/angular/ember. I've consistently used Socketstream combined with Ember in my for-fun projects, and it's extremely easy to build use. Combine that with the massive fun I'm having pushing events to the client from node and watching ember observers adjust accordingly, wonderful things can happen.

On topic - Socketstream is actively being developed and is pretty damn awesome (not to mention easy to pick up). Meteor and TowerJS turned me away when I saw the amount of rigidity in their implementations, whereas SS allows you to plug modules in and out of the framework with ease.

Great to hear of your success with SocketStream!

While there is still lots to do, I am happy with the way the latest version (0.4) is progressing and very excited about the new support for Node Streams.

As you mention, SocketStream is indeed under active development, but most of that is currently going on in this experimental repo (https://github.com/socketstream/socketstream-0.4) and offline.

I hope to get a stable 0.4 release out early next year, along with full documentation, tutorials and more. Stay tuned!

I do use AngularJS on my client side, it works extremely well with Express on the server side.

I really liked how the article mentions Express isn't a framework and doesn't try to get in your way, this is exactly why I chose it!
