Why the decision to use C++ instead of NodeJS?

The main limitation on a server capacity is CPU
Probably speed.
Think that part of it is that only one process or thread can run at any given time in node. So, if you have a complicated multiplayer server, subroutines will start getting blocked.
Is it signifiant? I haven't even thought to lookup benchmarks.
