天下大势，合久必分，分久必合。

io.js fork 了 nodejs (0.12) 的代码。

有评论说这是在制造分裂，为什么世界上只能存在一个nodejs？
io.js 会导致 nodejs 社区的快速成长,还是类似 unix 分裂之后逐渐没落？

话说为什么叫 io.js 呢？总让人想到神奇的io语言

Answer 1

Fork is not the same as splitting, but it just has different ideas about the development of the project. You can take a look at this unofficial explanation: https://gist.github.com/maxogden/d96123138522c84cdb25

Answer 2

The front end has changed so much, and before node can take a good look, another io comes. .
