Node.js® is a JavaScript runtime built on Chrome's V8 JavaScript engine.

As an asynchronous event-driven JavaScript runtime, Node.js is designed to build scalable network applications. In the following "hello world" example, many connections can be handled concurrently. Upon each connection, the callback is fired, but if there is no work to be done, Node.js will sleep.

const http = require('http');

const hostname = '127.0.0.1';
const port = 3000;

const server = http.createServer((req, res) => {
  res.statusCode = 200;
  res.setHeader('Content-Type', 'text/plain');
  res.end('Hello World');
});

server.listen(port, hostname, () => {
  console.log(`Server running at http://${hostname}:${port}/`);
});

NodeJS is very powerful with its companian, NPM. npm is a powerful command line tool, which allows you to install libraries and many more frameworks. One of my top picks are the following:
1: React.js: npm install -g create-react-app
2: Discord.js: npm i discord.js
3: ExpressJS: npm i express

Building Different Projects

You can use React.js and Express.js for creating things like web pages, they are the most popular for these, there is also AngularJS which is made by Google. You can also make discord bots with discord.js, Discord bots can be made with python, but if you do know javascript, I'd recommend going for discord.js, There are many choices, a google search would be helpful to most of you.
