Well now there's a missing consonant in the MEAI stack. Add golang for the IMAGE stack?

#42How can Node fork? I thought it ran everything in the event loop...

#43If Node forks, does this mean one of the projects will block?
As it was forked by some of the top Node contributors, I'm guessing yes.

I see your bad joke and raise you an example :)

#48Earlier quoted context omitted.
Off topic, I guess, but color me unimpressed by the guy claiming he would fire someone for rejecting a pull request that does nothing but advance a political agenda.
Yeah, talk about an over the top reaction. I'd probably reject this too from a do-gooder searching github for pronouns to change. "Get another hobby. Rejected."
Out of curiosity, what's the harm in accepting the pull request after someone's already done the work?
Edit: I get not wanting unsolicited input from "do-gooders," but if someone on the project made such a change, would you still reject it?

But it's true that Node is losing traction.
Node is losing traction where? I see it as being very strong, but it isn't the shiny new thing any more -- which means that it is beyond the first few stages of the hype cycle. It has very strong growth in Google trends: http://www.google.com/trends/explore#q=node.js
I think Google trends is a very laggy indicator of something like this.

#50I think the intersection of politics and internet is interesting. I write about it quite a bit on my blog, as well as here: http://qbix.com/blog/index.php/2013/04/a-new-kind-of-platfor... In this case, we see sort of an "arab spring" of open source projects lately. Consider MySQL after it was bought by Oracle, and then the MariaDB fork was born. Now we have Node.js and Docker being forked. Until now, most successful…
This is more about how, for many companies, the OSS doctrine that they espouse doesn't really jive with their need for profitability. In the long run, they need to make decisions for the company that are not in the best interest of the project, and either the project dies or is forked or abandoned. Sun did really well by the OSS community for a very long time, but they had nothing to show for it and Oracle has since…
> I honestly think we're going to see a Firefox fork in the next 2-3 years.
Who is going to fork it? The active contributors that are employed by the Mozilla Foundation? Google? Microsoft? Opera? Some currently peripherally involved third party?
And what will the goals of this fork be? To be more focused on something other than producing a standards-compliant, multi-platform, performant browser?
