Hangover enables you to write server-side JavaScript. It is a simple C++ HTTP Server using Google's V8 engine to execute JavaScript. It should not be used for anything serious; it barely works.

Hangover depends on:

• libevent

To install in Ubuntu, sudo apt-get install libevent-dev

• V8

Download to $V8PATH and build by running scons

To build Hangover:

$ svn checkout http://hangover.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ hangover
$ cd hangover
$ make V8=$V8PATH
$ ./hangover example.js

You can then fetch the page by visiting http://localhost:8888/. See example.js and web.js - it should be easy to modify.
