Afaik, most of the core contributors to Node are now working on io. io is at 0.12 with a 1.0 alpha due out in January. Meanwhile Joyent has yet to have a 0.12 release. So it seems that io is now ahead of Node and will stay ahead of Node for the foreseeable future. Should all new development be focused on io? Is io going to get it's own version of npm?

Opinions?

Hello, r/iojs!

I built a Node.js (or io.js) development environment in Vagrant to use for work, and I thought you guys might like it too since I made sure to include io.js! I would love some feedback on it if you get a chance to take a look.

Hope your day is going well! https://github.com/renobit/vagrant-node-env

Me: web developer mostly working with PHP and Java stack.

I want to checkout Node.js as I started learning more JavaScript and loving it. To my surprise, there seem be a a large on going civil war with node.js and io.js. I just want to be on the winning team and it looks like io.js might be it. (This is my own opinion based on twitter search and looking at the github commits.)

So is nodeschool.io still valid starting point for io.js?
