Yes, delegating to the C++ modules in the background, which do support multi-threading.

These modules have nothing to do with Node directly so meme stays - node itself is single-threaded no matter how you spin this off.

Eh, what are these if not part of node?

What kind of definition are you applying so that a thing is suddenly no longer the sum of its parts?

Edit: JavaScript may be single threaded. Node.JS is not. JavaScript is but a part of Node.JS.
