SilkJS is a synchronous app server built on V8. In addition it's a general wrapper for JS which allows command line programs. The SilkJS HTTP server supports a full JS stack: client and server side execution. SilkJS has a number of features. It allows for server-side processing of Showdown (a JS variant of Markdown) and JST (JavaScript templating for JSP/PHP-style dynamic pages). It has built-in drivers for several databases and can integrate with most pure JS libraries. There's full AJAX support. And there are APIs for OS access (file system, network calls, processes, console). SilkJS is fully synchronous yet allows for asynchronous file I/O. This means that each request can execute on a different core of a machine, which is the basis for the speed advantage claimed over Node.js. SilkJS is a good platform for PHP and JSP style of webapp development. In addition it's more concise than each of those and beats PHP in performance. It also avoids the callback style of programming that some people dislike about Node.js.
