node
Node.js makes it possible to write applications in JavaScript on the server.
It’s built on the V8 JavaScript runtime and written in C++ . (The V8 JavaScript Engine is an open source JavaScript engine developed for the Chrome browser. It has since seen use in many other projects, such as MongoDB and Node.js that are used server side.)
