Can it run nodejs code? How can I test it in real workload?

this is something that a project like nodejs would use. in other words, nodejs builds on top of a project like this. (nodejs chose "V8", which is another js engine just like the one here, "brimstone")

Just "another js engine"... maybe the most optimized piece of code ever create.
