no jQuery though?? Why should jQuery be supported? isn't that just a DOM library?

Yes, the comment about jQuery is misplaced in this article. There's no point in running jQuery in the backend. If you do need to traverse HTML DOM in the backend, all of the languages already supported will have libraries for that. jQuery is much more than just traversing the DOM and only makes sense in the frontend...
