Hi guys, just to let everyone @index is available in 1.2 release candidate and works quite well :)

More info at https://forums.meteor.com/t/help-test-the-preview-release-with-new-upcoming-blaze-features-each-in-let-index/637

I don't think @FIRST, @last, @odd and @even are being implemented, though

[bellwood]

C'mon meteor, chip chop chip!

@joaobarcia, with index, doing first, last, odd and even isn't that hard when you need it. So I don't think it's a priority for MDG

+1 . These array template features would be great!

+1 Implementing it manually every time is quite bulky, especially the @last test.

[bellwood]

@andrei-markeev it's not even documented (that I've seen) how to manually implement them... If they can't be bothered to add a basic core feature then they should at least document the work-around.

My high hopes for meteor have slowly dwindled as core features have gone missing and non-document based data stores have gone on officially unsupported

Such great potential
