Interesting that Microsoft forked Node instead of io.js. The Microsoft repo says, "This branch is 16 commits ahead, 29 commits behind joyent:master".

- jjcm 12y agoI work for MS, right now we're working on win10. Some of the UI is written in html/js now, so I'm not surprised by this at all. I'm guessing we'll see some native node.js apps on windows in the future.
- untog 12y agoI think what the OP meant was that it is interesting that MS forked Node, and not the io.js project that's more advanced than Node. IMO it's not too surprising - it's relatively simple to fast forward to io.js from where it is now, wheras reverse engineering it backwards to Node compatibility would be mayhem.
