Why Node.js Exists in the first place?

JavaScript developers are lazy. They don't want to learn another language just because JavaScript doesn’t run on the server side.

It’s just some wrapper around chromes V8 engine, so that, you can have an independent enviroment outside to run Node.js anywhere.
