The behaviour of Joyent towards Ben Nordhuis left a very bad taste in my mouth last year. So I checked on the contributions to libuv [1] and it looks like he's back on the project. I wonder what happened?

Something seems to be happening at Joyent a lot of good people have left recently; Brendan Gregg, Deirdré Straughan, Ben Rockwood, Mark Cavage and so on. I love the work Joyent put out and have great admiration for them but something is off.

This move has nothing to do with that.

There's now a community fork of node called node forward. Most of the core contribs including Ben are fully on board and it is going in some exciting directions already. It's a bit under the radar at the moment but has already been in the press so hopefully its okay to talk about.

I'm not saying it did, just that it made me take another look and I was surprised and wondered if anyone had any insight.

I guess the "uv" in "libuv" stands for "unicorn velociraptor."

Edit:

"libuv" stand for "Librarian Unicorn Velociraptor". http://logs.nodejs.org/libuv/2012-09-09
