  Is this a pun on the name, or a genuine critique of the source code? As having a quick scan of the source code, it looks very well written! Especially for javascript, not many people can write javascript well.

    I'm pretty sure it's a Game of Thrones pun :)

    Definitely a pun, the "Night's Watch" is from Game of Thrones.

      It could also be referring to the classic https://research.microsoft.com/en-us/people/mickens/thenightwatch.pdf https://research.microsoft.com/en-us/people/mickens/thenight...

        Both wrong; from the site: "Nightwatch got its name from the famous painting The Night Watch by Dutch painter Rembrandt van Rijn. The masterpiece is prominently displayed in the Rijksmuseum, in Amsterdam - The Netherlands". http://nightwatchjs.org/guide http://nightwatchjs.org/guide

          ...which was called such because the painting got dirty and buried under tons of varnish; the actual title is "The Company of captain Frans Banning Cocq and lieutenant Willem van Ruytenburch preparing to march out."
