   Hmm what's wrong?

   $ node -v
   v8.0.0

   I think maybe this is implied:

   Note that, when referring to Node.js release versions, we have dropped the "v" in Node.js 8. Previous versions were commonly referred to as v0.10, v0.12, v4, v6, etc. In order to avoid confusion with V8, the underlying JavaScript engine, we've dropped the "v" and call it Node.js 8.

   So these all match the output of node -p process.versions (except npm, which matches npm -v). I don't think there's a downside to removing the v from this table.

   ➜  ~ ❯ node -p process.versions                                                                    ~
   { http_parser: '2.7.0',
     node: '9.0.0-pre',
     v8: '5.8.283.41',
     uv: '1.11.0',
     zlib: '1.2.11',
     ares: '1.10.1-DEV',
     modules: '55',
     openssl: '1.0.2k',
     icu: '59.1',
     unicode: '9.0',
     cldr: '31.0.1',
     tz: '2017b' }
   ➜  ~ ❯ node -v                                                                                     ~
   v9.0.0-pre
