Node.js is the software that allows you to run Javascript to create powerful server-side applications by using Google's V8 Javascript Engine. As a Node developer myself, I have always felt frustrated by seeing that Joyent, the company behind Node.s, was extremely conservative in terms of upgrading node to use the latest V8 version; the project was also struggling to get developers to actually contribute to code. This is why Fedor Indutny did the unthinkable: forked node and created IO.js. Today, the two projects are uniting possibly offering developers the best of both worlds

    If you want to see what the entire nodeJS index.js file (which runs everything) looks like you can head over to https://darrencaldwellwebdesign.ca/ [darrencaldwellwebdesign.ca] and check under articles. I wrote one there about nodejs and how to setup your first server (it takes about 10 minutes maybe, which is again a really big improvement).
