   The irony of this question should be apparent if you search for packages on npm today. How many "new projects" are there? In answer, why not create a new project? NPM INC controls npm, hasn't contributed it to the node foun

   io.js made a lot of noise about this, and has reached a "compromise" position that is indistinguishable to the end-user - or is LTS going to take V8 version bump over its 2.5-year life? No? Then take your scare quotes and bang y

   If by "match V8" you mean "skip most V8 changes"? V8 revs on par with Chrome, at a pace about four times what you say. Turns out that despite pillorying Joyent for sticking to V8 major versions, it is the only reasonably

   I suppose it could just be coincidence that the io.js fork didn't just disable, but did non-trivial work to remove facilities that allowed for competing (and totally open source) profiling & debugging tooling. Certainly casts a &qu

   HA! Hahahaha. hahaa.... wheeze Acquisitions are thoroughly NDA'd. A few of the core team may have been told (but relationships are not universally cordial - recall that Strongloop and Nodesource are direct competitors). The io.js com

   If you're concerned with stability, the best thing you can do is wait for the LTS release to come off the 4 branch. A quick glance at outstanding issues will show a number of integration bugs are still outstanding, and the new v8 was l

   Let's review the conditions of your example: no source, no debugger, two function calls And the assertion that // works as a strategy. There's only two things you could possibly comment out, so really the exam

   I can. It's long and tedious, because a lot of it is very simple things you learn very early on writing and maintaining software. You seem to be arguing that your example demonstrates the fact that you can localize a bug in the code wi
