Confused this with ender for a second... (http://ender.no.de/)
So Sproutcore 2.0 split into two camps, Ember.js and Amber.js? Someone correct me if I'm wrong, this is confusing.
Instead of going with "amber.js" they went with "ember.js"
sproutcore 2.0 = amber.js = ember.js
They're all the same with the final one being the official new name.

Ahh thanks so much.
not to be confused with ender.js
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.

amber.js had a nice feel to it -- ember.js, not so much.
What's in a name?
Emotive resonance, mental imagery, branding.
Now I have to return my amber lamps.
