This is crazy fast shipment..almost scary that you have to start keeping up with all the changes.. For anyone who wants to upgrade either from node 0.12 or iojs 3.30..all you have to do is re-install it with the GUI installer and you're good to go..for your personal computer at least!
Servers don't use a GUI installer :P

#32I hope it works like this
import {readFile} from 'fs';
import {clone} from 'lodash';
rather than explicitly providing "correct" URL to the modules.EDIT: edited the syntax.

#35The io.js fork and subsequent merge back into Node.js, including the birth of the Node Foundation, has been one of the best examples of the power of open source I have ever seen in action. The situation went from bad, to worse, to the best possible outcome, and that's remarkable to say the least. Congratulations to everyone involved and thank you for the hard work.
As somebody who uses Node only at the periphery of my role (for things like the Zombie browser, and SASS parsing) the massive instability has put me off from relying on it for anything core. Documentation is quickly out of date, libraries seem to have incompatibilities which only become obvious when they don't work, there's no 'recommended' approach for even basic tasks. I won't pretend I'm speaking for everyone, as…
As for no recommend approach - that's deliberate. I don't think most people working on Node want a Rails equivalent.

#36Best versioning convention ever :)

I'd use it for a personal project, or hackathon, but I'd be really cautious of developing mission-critical software in it.

The same episode happened with GCC and EGCS in the 90s. It's the power of free software.
I am so glad that gcc got its house in order. As a bonus the compiler got significantly better in pretty much all the ways it could (at least for users, no idea about internals.)

#39This is great news. I'm especially excited about the new ECMA6 features (arrows, etc.)
