I'm pretty sure that very little of it is actually in js. It's more appropriate to say that you use javascript to script the node environment/runtime.

Actually a pretty decent part is in JS since most of the standard libraries are purely written in JS. Github claims that nearly 70% of the node repository is in JavaScript.
