Lol, server side JavaScript far predates nodejs.

Do you mean Rhino? This is the first time I come across it and the fact that it’s written in Java completes a full circle of hell

Ha, yeah that's one I remember using. I believe there were other implementations of interpreting javascript on the server. LiveWire, maybe? It's been so long since I even attempted it, honestly. I will say, nodejs is clearly far superior to them all, especially with how lean a nodejs service runs on the server.
