1 Great Thing in 2014: Meteor
Ever since I found out about Node.js, I was intrigued by its potential. It had a lot of great features (ex. asynchronous I/O, event-driven, etc), but the one that stuck out the most was the ability to run Javascript on the server-side.
Instead of having to learn a server-side-only programming language (ex. PHP) and a client-side-only language (ex. Javascript - until recently), now a developer could specialize in just one language and use it everywhere. That has the potential to completely change the development landscape and many development paradigms. And it's doing exactly that.
Then came Meteor ... and I was blown away by its potential.
