Ironically the existence of NodeJS is somewhat related to Haskell, as Stephen Diehl mentions in [1]:

> As a funny historical quirk, back in 2011 there was an interview with Ryan Dahl, the creator of NodeJS, who mentioned that the perceived difficulty in writing a new IO manager for GHC was a factor in the development of a new language called NodeJS. When asked why he chose Javascript, for the project, he replied:

>> Originally I didn’t. I had several failed private projects doing the same on C, Lua, and Haskell. Haskell is pretty ideal but I’m not smart enough to hack the GHC.

The interview itself is in [2].
