Does it make sense to study this platform now or is it worth paying attention to its fork?

node.js and io.js are identical in terms of api. The code you write will work on both platforms.
The main difference you will encounter is that to use the new es6 features in node.js you need to use the --harmony flag, in io.js they work without a flag.

To be honest: if you are interested in a node only because of the js syntax, there is no point in learning. Nodo is a great toy, but for more serious things, it's better to use the same asynchronous Python tornado if you really need to.
