This is really misleading and shoddy reporting. It's one disgruntled developer forking over Code of Conduct issues (not even technical). The chances that this will win over any significant traction from the node community is nearly zero.
> The Node.js Foundation did not immediately offer a response in time for this story.
They also didn't put out a press release when I clicked the "fork" button on Github yesterday.
- jondubois 9y agoIt looks like some sort of power grab. Do these people even care about Node.js at all? How did they get on the Node.js TSC in the first place? Good luck to Ayo.js... and anyone who ends up using it.
- LamaOfRuin 9y ago4 members of the TSC have resigned and the foundation board made their scheduled meeting private and are dedicating it entirely to this issue.
- mayank 9y agonode's strength is its community -- how do any of the things you cited indicate that the community is going to fork, especially over a non-technical issue? The reason io.js took off with the community is because it addressed a core technical issue in node, namely the outdated version of V8 that 0.x was using. It's a bit like the Bitcoin fork -- the only thing that matters is adoption, not resignations over personal issues and private meetings. If Ayo.js suddenly offered 2x the performance of node, then we'd have a real story. Right now, this is the type of internal bickering that happens in any organization.
- pluma 9y ago3 members resigned over this issue. The 4th member resigned over a conflict of interest.
