The open source Node.js project for server-side JavaScript today hit a major milestone with the release of version 10.0.0. It marks the seventh major release of the cross-platform JavaScript runtime since the formation of the governing Node.js Foundation in 2015. Node.js itself debuted in 2009, promising a unified JavaScript-based Web application platform that allowed for creating dynamic sites with server-side code, rather than just static client code embedded in browsers.
