Is there any analogue of "console" in server-side javascript V8?

Question

To dump some debugging information in client-side javascript I can use console.log(myVar). Can I do the same thing in server-side javascript which runs on V8? Is there any way to dump data to error_log file or something?

by server side v8 - do you mean node.js? http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3904273/difference-between-console-log-and-sys-puts-in-node-js — Kevin Hakanson, Mar 13 '12 at 04:01
if you call `console.log(x)` in node.js, `x` will show up in the terminal that you're running node.js in. — Thomas Shields, Mar 14 '12 at 22:05
