Kind of odd, it was announced as "Amber.js": http://yehudakatz.com/2011/12/08/announcing-amber-js/

I'm wondering if there was some kind of copyright/trademark issue at play here.

Nope. We just didn't feel good about the naming conflict. See http://yehudakatz.com/2011/12/12/amber-js-formerly-sproutcor...

Probably just concern over confusion with Amber, a JS implementation of Smalltalk.

It's nice to know that some people, even when they have a lot of clout, still choose to play nice. Classy. :-)

(Purely in my personal and unweighty (as it should be) opinion.)

So Sproutcore 2.0 split into two camps, Ember.js and Amber.js? Someone correct me if I'm wrong, this is confusing.

Instead of going with "amber.js" they went with "ember.js" sproutcore 2.0 = amber.js = ember.js They're all the same with the final one being the official new name.

not to be confused with ender.js
