IBM Bequeaths the Express Framework To the Node.js Foundation (thenewstack.io)

campuscodi writes: The Node.js Foundation has taken the Express Node.js framework under its wing. Express will be a new incubation project for the Foundation. IBM, which purchased Express maintainer StrongLoop last September, is contributing the code. Part of the reason for allowing the foundation to oversee Express is to build a diverse contributor base, which is important given the framework's popularity.

    Yet another JavaScript framework. *sigh*

    Yet another framework? Express isn't exactly new on the scene...
