How node.js is build?

Question

I am beginner in node.js.

I came to this question while I am watching video - Ryan Dahl: Original Node.js presentation .

In between 18:10 to 18:25 minutes,

Ryan Dahl said - "there is no real dependencies other than python".

1) From this, can I infer that node.js is dependent on python or it is built in python?

2) What are the base languages for node.js?

3) Can someone explain me about the compiler of node.js? What kind of compiler it is using? How it is working?

Answer 1

node.js is not dependent on python. It may been in 2009 when the presentation was given.
