Wow. Batshit V8-based server-side JavaScript environment. Can be used to write web servers, but also just about anything else. Also, has a totally hardcode ‘nothing blocks, ever’ philosophy that means that just about everything happens in closure-based callbacks, letting you write a single-threaded web server that can deal with many incoming connections at once.
