It wasn't. They basically predicted Node.js 15 years before its inception.

EDIT: Okay, server-side JS indeed long predates Node.js. See below.

Netscape Enterprise Server executed server-side JavaScript ("SSJS")

It was. I developed sites using Netscape Livewire, the server side JS in Netscape Enterprise Server. It was probably closer to ASP and PHP scripting, mixing HTML, client-side JS, and server-side JS in the same file.

It was also an option for IIS as well as vbscript in classic ASP pages.
