If these projects don't get merged, it's going to be a shitshow in my opinion.

Why? io is more stable and fixes get backported to node when it's possible to backport them.

io.js can certainly benefit from these fixes but I don't think it'll be a "shitshow".

isn't the reason io was formed because node was so outdated? It had a way old version of v8.

The reason io.js was forked, in my opinion, is because a core group of very strong contributors wanted control over Node. They gained that control by forking, giving away control of the fork to the community (open governance model) and working to make the fork a superior product.

I really hope we can see a unification of the efforts and work through the political issues. Having very talented developers working on separate codebases instead of improving one seems counterproductive.

They have to merge otherwise one will die. There is no alternative. I hope it happens sooner rather than later.

Similar thread on NodeJS's GitHub. Booming with comments and interesting discussion as usual ;) https://github.com/joyent/node/issues/9295

Well, considering the issue was created 6 minutes before you posted this comment, this is facetious and disingenuous.

I didn't notice that - but 42 minutes later I think the comment still stands :)

Check out the other top 5 issues - it's mainly a bunch of people talking to themselves.

Anyhow - I genuinely wanted to link to both - not trying to poke at node.
