Good question. I think Meteor is certainly the closest of such platform at the moment, but you don't have to go far to find a developer who really hates JavaScript and will never switch over. Such hate may or may not be justified, but you won't easily change their minds. At the same time, there are people - including me - who only develop with JS with no real need to switch over to something else.

I wish I had a more educated answer (guess?), since this is all just anecdata.

Has anyone built an Ecommerce platform in Meteor? Meteor is just this months hotness for building a specific type of web product, namely web apps. It's not going to become the defacto standard of anything else.

I have, not ready for prime time yet as client is dragging their heels but the tech is sound. Using stripe, with big props to http://themeteorchef.com/recipes/building-a-saas-with-meteor...

I've messed with it some, and so far, I'm not seeing what the advantage is on using Javascript on the server rather than Ruby or some other more advanced dynamic language. Ruby seems to have more advanced features and a better ecosystem around it.
