"That doesn't make any sense. Anything that can run node.js can also run erlang, so let's use some erlang code inside node.js, right?"
Sounds right from a Turing perspective, but probably not from a pratical point of view. There are tons of services that provide PHP hosting, but you probably need a root server for Erlang. All services that run Node.js (except Node.Js specific services like Joyent) are probably root serves and so can run PHP.

I'm sure they can run php, but that won't help running wordpress themes coded in php run in a node.js app.
Yes, you do need a php interpreter to run wordpress themes as many wordpress php functions need to be customized in order to change the css.

That doesn't make any sense. Anything that can run node.js can also run erlang, so let's use some erlang code inside node.js, right?
