Node.js is the software that allows you to run Javascript to create powerful server-side applications by using Google's V8 Javascript Engine.

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
