Just wanted to find out why you guys chose node.js. I guess this is something that needs to be documented, but if you could give me a brief summary here that would be great.

Initially, we used Arduino IDE /w Edison and successfully Tested it. Then we also tried Intel XDK and node.js(default). Since, our team doesn't have experience with both, we went with "which language would be easier" route. JavaScript is very easy to use and learn. we have familiarity with it. Also, it is compatible with all the things we are using in this project. So, it comes down to our knowledge on the language JavaScript while sufficient for our project.
