You write that javascript runs on the V8 engine, but you fail to clarify that this is just one possible engine.
If I as a reader know nothing about it I would get the impression that javascript was invented by google and that V8 is the only way to run it :)
I know its under note.js history, but I would clarify that node.js selected the V8 engine from google to run Javascript out of the different existing ones.

@david Martensson! Thank you so much for letting me know. I am still new to Node.js and I have a lot to learn! I made the change. Thanks again. :)
