The previous fork was successful because a lot of the developers went with the fork and it was fulfilling an unserviced need in the community for a node built on newer versions of v8. Does anyone know if this fork has much of a chance of survival?
didn't follow the node development closely, what was this fork?
Node.js is forked to Ayo.js (pronounced like “IO”)

#42Sounds like BS. Possibly relevant: Eric S. Raymond: Why Hackers Must Eject the SJWs (2015) http://esr.ibiblio.org/?p=6918
Oh brother.

The previous fork was io.js, it's contributions have now been brought back under the Node.js umbrella. This new fork is almost a non-story by comparison, if it gets even a minor level of traction amongst developers I'll be surprised. Even the repo creator has half-arsed the readme.

This fork adds nothing, it's just a "politics" thing, I doubt it will survive past a few weeks

#45Line that stood out to me: "Rod retweeted in support of an inflammatory anti-Code-of-Conduct article" If you're not 100% onboard with the politics, you're a horrible person.
I can tell that this will be a productive and level-headed comment thread.

#46What is the reason for the fork ?
SJW rage is good, actually.

#48Are they seriously forking the project because they don't like one person involved in it?
Re: Node.js is forked to Ayo.js (pronounced like “IO”)
#49They're flipping out because of a tweet, and all it had was a link to an article against codes of conduct.
"Additionally he discussed private information from the moderation repo in the public thread, which is explicitly against he moderation policy".
I don't like such secrecy. What's going on in there? Wasn't community so important, why can't we know?
So what if that guy doesn't like CoCs? It is fine for people to have other opinions. This is another case of people over reacting over small stuff like it happened with Brendan Eich or Douglas Crockford.
Oh gee, some people need to chill out.
