- What is Node?

The Node environment comprises everything you need to run a program written in JavaScript(JS).

Node.js first started when the original developers of JS extended its functionalities from something you could only run in the browser to something you could execute on your computer as a independent application.

Now you can do much more with JavaScript than just creating interactive websites and web apps. Modern JavaScript has the same capabilites as other scripting languages like Python, and therefore it can do the same as these.

Both your browser's JavaScript and Node.js environment run on the V8 JavaScript runtime engine. This engine takes your JS code and converts it into a much faster machine code (machine code is a low level code that the computer can execute without needing to first interpret it).
