I assumed from the title this would be an announcement about Node 1.0, but I'm not terribly surprised to see the trend continue of approaching 1.0 asymptotically.
Still, this is interesting stuff. Does anyone know if any similar repos (Ruby Gems, etc.) have their own for-profit companies?
- prezjordan 13y agoRubyGems is funded through Ruby Central [0], a 501(c)(3). I imagine Ruby Central gets a significant chunk through conference ticket sales? Someone more knowledgable here can chime in :) [0]: http://rubycentral.org http://rubycentral.org
- mjn 13y agoI can think of a few examples, but none of the ones that come to mind are only the repository as its own company. Instead the repository is hosted by a for-profit company that is also primary host of the language itself. For example, D's main repository is hosted by Digital Mars, also the creator and lead steward of the language. And Tcl's main repository for a while was hosted by Scriptics, which was founded by Tcl's creator and also employed most of its core devs.
