io.js is a program that makes JavaScript run on a server.
io.js is a fork of node.js but is "better" because:
1) io.js always uses the latest JavaScript engine.
2) io.js is not controlled by private interests.

Really? I thought V8 makes JavaScript run on a server.
no, V8 makes javascript run, iojs makes javascript run on server.
So it's useless without V8. I mean I can install Chrome or an Awesomium app onto server and it will also run JavaScript on server (via V8).

V8 is just a JS engine, it is used in io.js, node.js, chrome, and chromium.
