Green threads usually refer to single-threaded runtimes such as Node.

This doesn't sound right. How is the single-threaded event-loop of node green threads?

Apart from that, it makes a lot of sense to have multiple threads in Node. They just run in the background, do stuff, and send events into JS land from time to time.
You're right, that was a bad example.
