@isaacs is there any adjustment on npm that needs to be made in order to keep it compatible with this rename or will a symlink to node be created precisely to avoid that?
Will there be any way of npm using some kind of feature detection to decide whether to use feature A or B when running under io.js? For instance, leveraging an important performance optimization.
@ruimarinho Just the standard stuff you already have. process.execPath, process.version, feature detection for the existence of specific functions/etc.

@bnoordhuis Please let me know when you have a PR - I'll put in my node.exe stub.

npm uses the binary name
node. Roughly 100% of all existing bin scripts do the same. The symlink is absolutely necessary.ruimarinho commentedon Jan 8, 2015

on Windows we will likely end up with
process.execPathbeingnode.exewithout the luxury of following a symlink to iojs so that's going to be trickypiscisaureus commentedon Jan 8, 2015
I'll take care of the alias.

Now that we're a few releases in, is there anything left to do here?
