Serious question re: With this fork io.js has won pretty much all the mindshare of the small core

Who and how many of the earlier Node.js core developers are still developing for Node.js, how many are developing for io.js, and how many are developing for both?

This should help you

io.js contributors: https://github.com/iojs/io.js/graphs/contributors?from=2014-...

node.js contributors: https://github.com/joyent/node/graphs/contributors?from=2014...

Clicking on those links, I was surprised to discover io.js commits from as early as 2009.

Some of us not following too closely, may have been under the wrong impression about io.js being a new initiative.

io.js is a fork of node.js, so the commit histories are the same prior to io.js becoming a thing. it is a new initiative.

Ahh, that makes more sense, tnx for clarifying (:

I had no idea that's how GH designed the commit history UI.

Also, it might be a nice bonus, if there was an indication of the fork, somewhere on the graph timeline.

Depends on what you mean by "still developing for Node.js" which is subjective. Going strictly off activity, the graphs on github[1][2] show node trending ever downward from a high back in early 2012, and iojs significantly spiking upward within the last few months, approaching 2012 levels. (Obviously all but the extreme right edge of both graphs share the same data.)

Before 11 July/23 Nov both repo share the same graph, depending on if io.js fork is started by Mikeal Rogers, or Fedor Indutny
