title: What is the point of Node.js
body: <p>Ok this is probably a little blunt and to the point, but what is the point/need for Node.js</p>
  
  <p>I've noticed it mainly through CloudFoundry but just not too sure what its supposed to be doing. However I am guessing its probably something pretty big as why else would VMWare be supporting it.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance.</p>
