might be nice to update this, either console.log(Hello from Node.js ${process.version}) or console.log('Hello from Node.js', process.version)

Updated, will land in two days if there are no objections (this is straightforward but not urgent).

@rvagg Used the second option for the console.log because it also works in PoweShell and it's only needed to change the slash for Git Bash.

Thanks for the reviews!
