Espruino is a JavaScript interpreter for low-power Microcontrollers. This site is both a support community for Espruino and a place to share what you are working on.

Yes, it was bound to happen if Espruino got popular - and this has actually been forked it in a very thoughtful way.
The problem for me is when features are added on top which aren't shared with the Espruino community.
Then I'm left in a difficult position - I have a competitor product that uses all the work I'm putting in - for free - and then adds features on top to make it more appealing than Espruino.
About the only way to be better than the clone is for me to deliberately add non open-source features that are only for the official boards, but to be honest that's bad news for everyone.
Of course I do offer proper support on the forum - but I imagine that what will happen is IskraJS users come to this forum asking for help, and just deliberately not mentioning that they are not using Espruino.
