"Node.js is a server-side JavaScript runtime for easily building fast, scalable network applications, using an event-driven, non-blocking I/O model that makes it lightweight and efficient, perfect for data-intensive real-time applications that run across distributed devices." What does that mean for php? In certain cases it may be a time-saver to use an alternative server-side language, that you probably already know(javascript). It's wicked smart.
