Node.js Forked By Top Contributors

New submitter jonhorvath writes: Several of the top contributors to Node.js, a popular open source run-time environment, have decided to fork the project, creating io.js as an alternative. The developers were unhappy with how cloud computing company Joyent was directing work on Node.js. Mikeal Rogers said, "We don't want to have just one person who's appointed by a company making decisions. We want contributors to have more control, to seek consensus." Here's the new repository, and a README file to go with it. A developer at Uber tweeted that they've already migrated to io.js on their production systems. It'll be interesting to see how many other sites follow.

Fucking SJWs man. Ruin evertying, and it's bleeding into my software and has been happening for a while now. I don't understand why people get so god damn bent out of shape about this trivial shit.
All those dumb ass comments. "I would have been easier to click Merge than Close". I don't use github to manage git, but sounds like the same amount of effort to me. Fucking guys, no ones going to suck your dick for appearing like a 'good guy' online. Fuck sake.
