Node

Definitions

1. Short for Node.js — a JavaScript runtime built on Chrome's V8 engine that enables server-side JavaScript execution with an event-driven, non-blocking I/O model.

   In plain English: A way to run JavaScript outside the browser, letting you build servers and tools with the same language used for websites.

   Example: "We rewrote the backend in Node so now the frontend and backend teams argue in the same language."
