Why is node.js in a separate category of its own? It's not a language, it's a framework written in Javascript. If anything, shouldn't it have its number added to the Javascript category?

Any reason to scrap the thin layer of JavaScript from other languages and plop the big lump of it right on the top? It's not like Node.js captured more than 2% of market.
