New gatekeeper

[Ryan Dahl]

Now that the rewrite on top of libuv is largely complete, I am ceding
my position as gatekeeper to Isaac Schlueter. Our energy will now be
largely focused over the next few months on improving the third party
module system experience including a website for browsing modules, a
new addon build system, and binary installations from npm. Isaac is in
the unique position to bridge the gap between core and external
modules to ensure a pleasant experience. After three years of working
on Node, this frees me up to work on research projects. I am still an
employee at Joyent and will advise from the sidelines but I won't be
involved in the day-to-day bug fixes. Isaac has final say over what
makes it into the releases. Appeals for new features, changes, and bug
fixes should now be directed at him.

[Arnout Kazemier]

Congratulations Isaac!

CAN WE HAS WEBSOCKETS AND SPDY IN CORE ;D

It's good to see the focus moving from core to the module community and there is no better person than Issac to help move it.

[Tane]

Good luck with the research stuff - hope we get to see some of the more interesting and successful results.  Thanks again for all your hard work to get us to this point with node, and I'm sure Issac will be as pragmatic in his decisions with node as you were.

[James Carr]

Oh wow.

Good luck with the research stuff, and big thanks for the amazing work
you've put into node.js. It's nice to know that Isaac will be taking
the reins. He's been passionately involved since the beginning.:)

Thanks,
James

[dvbportal]

Really? This is kind of sad. Anyways, thanks for the fantastic work. Node will always be your baby. 

[Scott Ware]

Congrats to everyone! Best of luck on your new research projects, Ryan!

[tjholowaychuk]

I can only imagine how it feels to work on the same thing for ~3
years, good luck with the new stuff! You must have a huge list of
things to tinker with

Thank you both for this platform that saved me from a dreadful object
oriented software pattern existence. Node.js peeled back the layers and
layers of abstraction that had congealed over the years, and made it
okay for a programmer to once again, lay hands on the operating system.
A whole new crop of programmers is coming up that know their UDP from
their TCP. They are scary smart and out of control productive.

It would be difficult to overstate the importance of Node.js, but all to
easy to invite an accusation of over-hyping Node.js. Let me understate
that I see a bright future for Node.js.

I am grateful to have this platform in which to express myself.

Thank you.

Thanks for the awesome work and good luck for future projects. I'm sure node is in good hands and will continue to thrive.

Thanks Ryan! You created something awesome and amazing that you spend contributing code for all these three years! You inspire me and many others! Looking forward seeing what you will cook up next :)

Thanks, congratulations, and best wishes to you both!

[Bruno Jouhier]

Thanks Ryan. I hadn't had so much fun programming in years. And node
is not just fun, it is an incredible enabler. Many many thanks.

And good luck to Isaac. I'm sure you'll carry the spirit forwards.

Thanks for everything Ryan! Hope you can get some nice R&R along w/

I remember I was about 5 or so beers to the wind at Node Summercamp hanging out by some sort of dance barn (... ??), and you said "I won't be around forever you know" or some such, and some guy next to me almost lost his shit. Amusing memory. Here is a commemorative song:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AKO_1xf0Sjw - congrats Isaac!

On another note, just decided we'll be using Node as our web platform of choice after I sent one of my guys to Node Summit. Glorious!

Very many thanks Ryan for creating something awesome and for making a
great language like JS into a great tool with Node.

Also, congratulations to Isaacs and thanks for stepping into large
shoes ... it's a good job you have big feet too ... you're prefect for
the role and we as a community can't ask for anyone better. :)

Cheers,
Andy

Thank you for the great product.

[GottZ]

i've been watching this since 0.2
i was impressed. i was thinking that i known javascript very well but
you have proven me wrong.
node enhanced my javascript skills and so did some books i bought in
that time.

i was searching for something like this for ages.
i've even poked around with spidermonkey in order to run some of my
applications in javascript. then came v8 and you got this here rolling
pretty well.

i dunno how i could express my mind but but but.. thank you. you sir,
are an enlighter.

time to create a church of nodejs.

Big thanks, Ryan. Great work on node. Looking forward to see where

This is such a huge milestone for the community.  

Thanks to you Ryan for forging ahead to create this project back in the days when we didn't have upload progress bars :)  

Isaac, I've been burning through the NodeUp podcasts, and I definitely think you've got the sensible approach that's needed to steer this project forward.

The module system is the primary way for the wider community to participate in node, and getting that part right will really contribute to the long term success of the project.

[Fauzi As]

Long life BDFL! It was such an excitement to see what you guys gone throughout these years, it was such an amazing experiences me and my teams have.

 

My decent respect for your initiative Node.JS, i will remember this, and good luck on your next 'research' projects. perhaps an 'ipod' gentleman?

[m1k3l]

Thanks Ryan for making this project such a success; what an inspiration for developers all over the world.

Congrats Isaac! Let the fun continues ;-)

[George Snelling]

Ryan, 

Only time will tell, but I think historians will count you among those who have have moved the discipline a step forward. You join an august group of engineers who have followed s similar path:  a brilliant insight, an elegant implementation, a select team.  The codebase will have its long run, and will eventually be replaced by something better.  But the ideas embodied in node are with us forever.  You have made the whole world better with your mind and your two hands. Thank you.

The king is dead; Long live the king!

Thanks to your great leadership, this will not negatively impact the
vibrant nodejs community. It will however positively impact the
personal satisfaction with your daily tasks. So I congratulate you
from the bottom of my heart. Let's have an adequate period of mourning
and then decide where and how to errect proper statuary and memorials.

Oh wait, you have already done so by creating Node. My Bad. ;)
