+ Node.js is a software system designed for writing highly-scalable internet
+ applications, notably web servers. Programs are written in JavaScript, using
+ event-driven, asynchronous I/O to minimize overhead and maximize scalability.
+ 
+ Node.js consists of Google's V8 JavaScript engine plus several built-in
+ libraries.
+ 
+ Node.js was created by Ryan Dahl starting in 2009, and its growth is
+ sponsored by Joyent, his employer.
+ 
+ Similar environments written in other programming languages include Twisted
+ for Python, Perl Object Environment for Perl, libevent for C and EventMachine
+ for Ruby. Unlike most JavaScript, it is not executed in a web browser, but is
+ instead a form of server-side JavaScript.
+ 
+ Node.js implements some CommonJS specifications. It provides a REPL
+ environment for interactive testing."
