Govern Node Right (opens in new tab)

Agreed! PHP really needs a non-backwards compatible fork, something to go back and refactor all the built-in functions so they're consistently named and the arguments are consistently ordered, and with sensible defaults all around.

If the fork did nothing else, that would still be a huge leap forward.

Thank you.

btw, "io" was apparently Ryan's first choice for a project name before "node".

I agree with the grandparent post. Joyent has been so flippant, and specifically when Bryan Cantrill made that post, I just totally lost all respect for Joyent. I spent the winter writing Go, so had lost touch with node-forward, and came back to the pleasant surprise of io.js v1.0.x. I think at this point, it would be a step backwards (and a mistake) to give Joyent even a meter of ground that's been gained with the io.js fork.
