Simply please explain how and why Node.js is being used in cloud platforms. As well as why are they all going towards the JavaScript interpreter if that language is not that good and everyone criticizes it.

JS is better than it used to be. People hang onto old criticisms, but I think things are getting a lot better.
Ultimately I think people are buying into JS more and more simply because it is ubiquitous. Fewer total concepts to learn if everybody is using the same language, and sharing data models more seamlessly between environments is a big plus.
My last experience with node personally was that it still left some to be desired in terms of being a community which had settled on patterns that made sense. So I was having a hard time not finding radically split opinions on every decision I wanted to make. It burnt me out so I haven't been back but I suspect things are getting better. I wouldn't mind getting back into Node if the opportunity were to arise.
Thank you for the response sir. I might not evaluate things at the level of which you are talking I'm just a beginner and they have also launched the Node v10 (version) and I guess it has a lot of improvements and design pattern related changes.
Awesome there is so much to learn more then just the Data Structures and Algorithms for me. Hahaha
