SO...WHAT IS polymer?

built on top of web components

<myClock currentTime="5:14 a.m." alarm="6:00 a.m.">

</myClock>

Composable, reusable components that contain all the HTML, CSS, and javascript baked into them.

Polymer is an opinionated framework on top of web components.

webcomponents:

shadow dom

abstracts component logic away from the global dom

It's okay to have duplicate IDs, you stop fighting the global namespace. CSS compilers become suspect in this world.

Advantages of meteor + polymer

Meteor ships with blaze, its ui reactive engine

blaze simply reactively updates markup, html or otherwise

What about {{collisions}}

HELLO, /PUBLIC DIRECTORY

BLAZE WILL not COMPILE HTML SOURCES IN THE /PUBLIC DIRECTORY
