It's still possible to publish packages for different platforms by using the `meteor publish-for-arch` command, though it's become increasingly difficult to offer compatible versions for every circumstance due to the wide matrix of Node.js ABI versions. This makes it unlikely that a package built on the build farm will be appropriate for the application which the package is consumed by, substantially reducing the overall value of rather expensive infrastructure. Since Meteor 1.4, and as part of the jump from Node 0.10 to Node 4, Meteor introduced the capability to compile binary dependencies at the time that a package is installed. Additionally, many Node.js packages are already pre-compiled in a much more effective and wide-spread nature for the entire JavaScript ecosystem using tools like `node-pre-gyp`. cc @benjamn.
Meteor is an ultra-simple environment for building modern web applications.
With Meteor you write apps:
- in modern JavaScript

- using your choice of popular open-source libraries
