Kind of odd, it was announced as "Amber.js":

Thanks, I missed that. It's interesting that they opted to go against the feedback they received from the HN majority :P


I'm wondering if there was some kind of copyright/trademark issue at play here.


Nope. We just didn't feel good about the naming conflict. See http://yehudakatz.com/2011/12/12/amber-js-formerly-sproutcor...


It's nice to know that some people, even when they have a lot of clout, still choose to play nice. Classy. :-)

(Purely in my personal and unweighty (as it should be) opinion.)


Probably just concern over confusion with Amber, a JS implementation of Smalltalk.
