NodeJS is a platform-independent JavaScript code execution environment that allows you to build a variety of solutions.
One of them are web servers. NodeJS also allows you to develop desktop solutions by accessing the file system and other system APIs.
There is also an Arduino modification that allows you to program microcontrollers in JavaScript.
