4.0 is the new 1.0 - Node & JavaScript

The first fully converged io.js/node.js release coming soon. Last week was a typical San Francisco summer, sunny with occasionally hostile winds. This was the setting for 40 node.js contributors to gather for the first ever Collaborator Summit, organized by the new Node.js Foundation. A year ago we didn’t have 40 contributors to gather but today this represents only a fraction of the total contributor base (359 GitHub org members as of 8/12). This is due in large part to Joyent’s migration of node.js to a foundation and the merger of io.js into that foundation. As a unified project node.js has seen more progress than ever and will soon see Node.js v4.0 — the first unified release of the io.js and node.js codebases.
