   Blame that on Google, for pioneering the “V8” JavaScript implementation   
   that greatly sped up its execution speed. Prior to that, JavaScript was   
   only good for adding limited interactivity to web pages. But suddenly, it   
   became feasible to add enough code to approach the full complexity of a   
   locally-running app -- and all entirely in the browser.   
      
   That massive leap in performance also led to JavaScript becoming usable   
   for back-end development, with nothing to do with browsers at all. Hence   
   the inception of NodeJS.
