Webapps Team Status update for June 19

*Webapps*
- Scopes written in Javascript can now say Hello World ! Alex integrated
the work from Marcus, the v8-cpp library to bind basic types inside a
nodejs-based container
- We're still using a static lib made from nodejs at this stage, but looked
into how to surface more of the hooks required from nodejs
- Obligatory screenshot : Scopes in JS say Hello
