I was already giving it the benefit of the doubt by reading any further than "next generation web framework for node.js".

it's because of the hyperbole: > next generation web framework for node.js I don't think they need that, just list the stand-out features first. And yes, referring to past accomplishments does give it more credibility.

  This utilizes generators heavily. Generators are within the ES6 spec, which is the next generation of JavaScript. This might be one of the very few instances that "next generation" is a valid statement.

Too many things claim to be a "next generation framework", that it usually is a let down because it is just a rehash of something. But this is something new that looks like it can be good. I've been wondering when it would be announced, as TJ has been working on it for a while: https://github.com/visionmedia?tab=activity https://github.com/visionmedia?tab=activity

  Like it or not, irregardless is here to stay. Languages change, mispellings become the correct way to spell things, words become their own antonyms, and a lot of other very strange things. Embrace it!

        Of course language evolves, but a double-negative is a double-negative, no matter how you slice it. Do you have another example of a single word that is a double-negative?
