Question

What is the key difference between node.js and io.js?

Answer 1

Hello,

io.js:

• Node-forward is basically being merged into io.js
• forked on the basis of community-driven development and active release cycles
• includes many of the original Node.js developers
• has the future goal of "merging back with Node.js"

Node.js:

• the original software
• has slowed down development in recent time
• sponsored by Joyent
• Joyent owns the trademark Node.js
