I think you are an outlier, though. When you are talking about mass appeal, a lot more people are aware of thee node name than io. There is no reason to have to rebuild the branding and awareness process.
- rpwverheij 11y agoI agree. As someone who just helped transition the main product of a company from polling towards socket.io + node.js, I can tell you the main name they know, somewhat understand and praise is "nodejs". To them that's the keyword to what made everything so quick and responsive. If I had to tell them at some point that actually nodejs was a bit behind and now we should move to io.js that would have been a bit confusing at least. Now, I can just be happy that "nodejs" will be the "awesome cutting edge tech" for me aswell as for them.
- josteink 11y agoAs anecdotal evidence: Where I work we use Node in our projects and today is the first time I've ever heard about io.js. Make of that what you like.
- izolate 11y agoYou're not curious about your own tech stack?
- josteink 11y agoWhen "everyone" says "Use node" and every problem you need solve is solvable by googling "nodejs $problem" without anyone every anywhere mentioning iojs as a viable option, you can still be curious about your own tech-stach without knowing about the existence of forks. I think you suffer from a too simplistic view of things.
