A group headed by some of Node’s most important contributors has "forked" the project, creating a new version it's calling io.js. It’s a version of Node “where contributions, releases, and contributorship are under an open governance model,” its Readme file states.

I've very recently wrapped up a small Proof of Concept project employing the MEAN (Mongo, Express, Angular, Node) stack and came away presently surprised by the experience. It was too short a time to get properly acquainted with Node but I actually enjoyed using a full Javascript stack. I'm hoping Joyent will agree to the suggestion of placing Node.js in a foundation which would hopefully resolve the split.

Anyone here use Node? Your opinions on the fork?
 
Just another tick in the cons column.

Node and IO's respective futures will depend greatly on the entities and individuals running it. It will be interesting to see if one or both will falter.

Its highly unlikely core contributions will go more towards io.js, joyent will put more man power from their side.
