    However, you should be able to use a different version of the library that is compatible with your system. Maybe you can install the development package for `libevent` via the system package manager? That should assure a working state. Otherwise you should be able to download a compatible version from https://libevent.org/ (either binary or source and build it yourself).

    They're different. Node uses libuv while chromium uses libevent. You're also seeing different APIs for working with the event loop like nextTick() in Node that doesn't exist in browsers.
