Replacing server-side language by JavaScript

Question

I would like to know if it is possible to replace a server side language (PHP, C#, Java EE, etc) by JavaScript to do the same work (accessing a database, using sessions, etc).

I hate PHP the more I use it, I'm too lazy to learn the EE part of Java, and I don't know C#, and since I like JavaScript, I'd like to use it for that.

Is it possible / doable ? If yes, can you point me into the right direction to get the required software ?

Thanks for your help !

You should have a look at Node.JS... It is basically server side Javascript.
