node.js is a completely different JS interpretter that runs in a different
model (event/asynchronous while Synchronet's JS engine, the Mozilla JavaScript
engine, runs code proceduraly).
That said, there's probably way to launch node.js via CGI or a native service,
but you wouldn't get any of the Synchronet object model.

No, but someone did integrate SQlite once.
