Website content - "npm compatible platform"?

[Daniel15]

Someone linked me to your project site today so I thought I'd take a look. The first thing I read was "io.js is an npm compatible platform originally based on node.js™" which confused me and I had no idea what this meant. What does "npm compatible platform" mean here? Is PHP a "Composer compatible platform" and is Python a "PyPI compatible platform"?

It would have made much more sense if it said "JavaScript runtime" or something like that. Perhaps "io.js is a JavaScript runtime with a Node.js-compatible API".

I believe its intention is to mean a... JavaScript runtime compatible with the npm ecosystem, as in it can run all the packages in the registry. However I agree that this isn't very clear in what its saying.

Thanks, I'll move it. I suggest you add that to your README or something. It wasn't immediately obvious that the site has a separate repo. Quite often projects use one repo for both the app itself and the site.
