I'm really excited that this version of Node includes updates I made for the debugger module[0], including the ability to show you the closures in your program[1]. (This has already helped nail some memory issues in Node itself.) I hope to blog about it in more detail next week.

This sounds really interesting. I'm excited to see your blog post.

@dap, that's very excited work! Would love to sit with you soon and watch you use the debugger with these enhancements.

So can I use generators without a --harmony-generators flag now? Surprised there aren't any mentions of ES6 in the blog, considering the competition from io.js.

Answering my own question: nope!

This is fantastic. I know we'll be using the closures feature ourselves to debug our production problems. This is what I love to see in robust software releases -- features that help engineers more easily debug problems. Kudos dap!

Meh, too late. io.js is the standard now.

Not sure if this is a joke, but assuming it's not - it's the standard now, and it's been out for... 2 whole months?!

It's based on node.js from just before the 0.12 stable release. The v8 and libuv base libraries and other pieces have been updated. It's not like they started io.js from scratch. It's that most of the core developers have moved on to io.js at this point.

Barring a merge back into node.js (which could still happen), I don't see myself going back for new projects.

Example? I'm curious because mostly everything has worked for me. I'm using: io.js v1.1.0 npm v2.4.1 node-gyp v1.0.2

fibers

I just crudely tested this pull request. Seems to work. https://github.com/laverdet/node-fibers/pull/205/files

Cool idea. I'll be demo'ing them at NodeSummit too!

Yep, io.js v1.1 works really fine and i switched too.

My experience has been that just about every module that uses native code (there are more than you think) doesn't work in IO.js because of the changes to the V8 apis. So until all of those are updated to work with both I'll have to stick to Node.

That is being tracked here:

https://github.com/iojs/io.js/issues/456#issuecomment-730639...

As a native module owner, I made mine work right away and it was work that I needed to do anyway for Node compatibility because changes in v0.11.13/15 broke me as well.
