I don't know much about node.js but have always heard about it in a server-side context - does anyone know what role node is going to play in the webOS ecosystem?

(correct me if I'm wrong, HNers)

In WebOS, "apps" are written in html/css/js, so it makes sense to have the capability of running a standalone js engine like node for GUI-less apps (background services).

I'm curious, can you provide some examples?
