  Ryan Dahl created it at Joyent, and Joyent controlled it at the time. But he left it to other maintainers when he left Joyent. https://www.quora.com/What-happened-to-Ryan-Dahl https://www.quora.com/What-happened-to-Ryan-Dahl https://www.quora.com/Who-is-Ryan-Dahl https://www.quora.com/Who-is-Ryan-Dahl

  TJ Holowaychuk, the creator of Express.js and many, many, many other notable libraries. He left the node community a few years ago. Still a total legend though!

  Probably Douglas Crockford (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Douglas_Crockford https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Douglas_Crockford), while not node specific he was one of the biggest people responsible for the popularity of javascript.
