Silly question about naming:

Why does node.js have a dot before the JS whereas ExpressJS and AngularJS don't?

Was it just the preference of the inventors?

I think that ExpressJS and AngualarJS wanted to optimze for domain names. Good marketing is same product name as domain name There is no .js domain prefix. I think there should node.js did a bad job with their domain names for, ExpressJS and Angular, you just have to add .com or .org node.js > nodejs.org expressJS > expressjs.com AngularJS > angularjs.org

Honestly, it's just the creator's choice. Some people like Thing.js. Others like ThingJS. And still others like Thing.JS. I get that that isn't a very helpful answer, but that's sadly the truth.
