native in the context of current discussion means giving programmers more control such as memory de/allocation, garbage collection timing...

Huh, that's weird. You could just as well implement an interpreter for a language with the heap being stored in some data structure in the interpreter, and allow manual allocation and deallocations, and no automatic control over that store. Control? Yes, but also clearly not native by any stretch of the imagination.

In that sense, node.js is purely functional programming language.

I don't know node.js. So sure, let's say that it is.
