Not sure if this is a joke, but assuming it's not - it's the standard now, and it's been out for... 2 whole months?!

- tracker1 12y agoIt's based on node.js from just before the 0.12 stable release. The v8 and libuv base libraries and other pieces have been updated. It's not like they started io.js from scratch. It's that most of the core developers have moved on to io.js at this point. Barring a merge back into node.js (which could still happen), I don't see myself going back for new projects.
- hyperpape 12y agoThat's a fine attitude, but nothing about it justifies talk of "standard".
- dikaiosune 12y agoFor us JS bystanders who get whiplash from release announcements, I think it's pretty hilarious. I definitely read it as a joke.
- coldtea 12y agoWhat does the time it's "been out" has to do with anything? For one, it's a fork, not a new product -- so it carries all the old development from node. Second, it got all the best contributors from the node community. So, while it might not be a standard yet in numbers, it's very well poised to be.
