Farewell Node.js - TJ Holowaychuk

Oculus · on July 4, 2014

TJ Holowaychuk did wonders for the community. Just a small list of the packages he's responsible for:

- ExpressJS (14,579 stars)

- Jade (6,770 stars)

- EJS (1,599 stars)

- Mocha (4,778 stars

- Commander.js (2,590 stars)

- Should.js (1,701 starts)

I'm really curious as to see how this will effect the future of Node.

This is bad news for the Node community.

This guy is a genius, he'll probably help Go become more popular.

The top contributors (based on graphs on github) for these projects in last six months is not TJ. So yes, some others are probably going to take over the different projects.

This must be a joke.
