Meteor has revealed its road map to Meteor 1.2 and beyond. Version 1.2’s anticipated release will take place later this summer, with ECMAScript 6 compatibility, support for Angular and React, and a faster and more flexible build pipeline.

Beyond version 1.2, Meteor is focusing on SQL support, better ways to work with REST and microservices, and improving its application architecture.

“Our goal has always been to build the best possible JavaScript application platform, and we’re excited about the next step in that quest to integrate the best parts of the ecosystem and orient them around a modern application architecture, making the best way to build full stack apps in JavaScript,” wrote Matt DeBergalis, founder of Meteor, in a blog post.
