How it works
The selected code or if nothing is selected, the active file, is written in a temporarily file (something like node_.tmp). You don't have to save the file for execution. This file will be executed by your installed version of node.js. Therefore node has to be in the PATH.
Any data from stdout or stderr will be printed to an OutputChannel. Unfortunately console colors won't work.
