Isn't there the spark rendering engine that can be used independent of meteor? https://github.com/meteor/meteor/wiki/Spark

I haven't tried it, but it seems like cleaner approach than cutting the patient in half.

The recent release of 0.6.5 intends to make it possible to take only the parts of Meteor you need while still benefiting from the surrounding ecosystem (i.e. leveraging smart packages like minimongo, deps, and third-party ones like ironrouter).

In practice though, I wasn't able to get a client-side only Meteor example app running, so I'm waiting for Meteor to iron out the rough spots.

In the meantime, techniques such as the one by the blog post author can tide people over.
