HA! Hahahaha. hahaa.... <i>wheeze</i><p>Acquisitions are thoroughly NDA&#x27;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 community in general was absolutely not told.<p>I expect there are a few people who feel a bit betrayed that one of the major movers in a supposed grass-roots community-oriented fork appears to have done it only to make themselves a better acquisition target.<p>While they&#x27;re not wrong to feel that way, StrongLoop have been telegraphing this particular intention for a long time (at least since hiring Roth).
