A merger between Node.js and the io.js fork is afoot, with the io.js faction even joining the Node.js Foundation for governance of the popular server-side JavaScript platform.
The code merge is already taking place, said io.js representative Mikeal Rogers. The io.js technical committee this week voted in favor of both the merger and joining the foundation, he said.
“In the immediate future you’ll see more io.js releases while we finish up the code merge for a unified node.js releases,” Rogers said in an email on Friday. “After that we’ll just be doing Node.js releases, but we still own all the io.js assets, so I’m sure we’ll find some use for all the assets.” Version 2.0 of io.js was released earlier this month.
