A comment on Node.js is forked to Ayo.js (pronounced like “IO”).

The previous fork was successful because a lot of the developers went with the fork and it was fulfilling an unserviced need in the community for a node built on newer versions of v8. Does anyone know if this fork has much of a chance of survival?

This fork adds nothing, it's just a "politics" thing, I doubt it will survive past a few weeks

I'd be surprised if it survives into 2018 as anything more than "we copy commits from upstream and consider ourselves a different project".

The previous fork was io.js, it's contributions have now been brought back under the Node.js umbrella. This new fork is almost a non-story by comparison, if it gets even a minor level of traction amongst developers I'll be surprised. Even the repo creator has half-arsed the readme.

io.js forked 2014, planning to keep io.js up-to-date with the V8 engine. Node.js foundation was later founded and later in 2015 io.js and node.js merged into Node 4.0.

And this one is pronounced the same way?

That won't be confusing in conversation.
