Instability is the very thing this merge and the foundation seek to address. Where there was once an uncertain future, there is now a Board of Directors and a Technical Steering Committee bound by a Open Governance Model.
The future has never looked more stable for Node, just take a peek at the names of the companies sitting on the board: https://nodejs.org/en/blog/announcements/foundation-elects-board/ https://nodejs.org/en/blog/announcements/foundation-elects-b...

- grandalf 11y ago> It promises a stable future, so let's say I'm being cautiously optimistic. This doesn't make sense in light of your initial comment. One of the big goals of IO was to move to semver and address unpredictability/instability that you describe. If anything, the merging of Node and IO should give you confidence that project governance will be on the right track moving forward. Also, when you consider the advancements in transpiled js, the js/node community is looking very wise compared with other language maintainers.

- radu_floricica 11y ago"On the right track" does not mean "production ready now". Some time needs to pass in order to create the confidence necessary.
- grandalf 11y agoI lot of people (myself included) have been using IO.js in production for a while now.
- Killswitch 11y agoTell that to the big companies who use it in production right now. Microsoft, Netflix, PayPal, Walmart.

- kbutler 11y agoI'm not sure you're not trolling, but in case you have serious concerns, node.js 4.0.0 incorporates the history of io.js. io.js defined 1.0.0 in early 2015. See https://github.com/nodejs/node/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md https://github.com/nodejs/node/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md and search for 1.0.0
