Node.js - Disabling Browser's Javascript

Question

For instance, if a browser has javascript disabled does node.js still work or does it need a fallback?

I know this might be a stupid question, but i'm trying to prove to a friend that node.js works on the server-side and doesn't rely on the client side.

As pointed by @frédéric-hamidi run a node server and then curl it:

nodejs

var http = require('http');
http.createServer(function (req, res) {
  res.writeHead(200, {'Content-Type': 'text/plain'});
  res.end('I don\'t need js on the browser!');
}).listen(80);

shell

curl http://web-07081482-2b2c-4e1b-9b1c-9ab20dccb92c.runnable.com/
