Its UI runtime is Qt and its JS runtime is Node.js. No Chromium here :) it makes super-small, low-memory apps.

Yes, I suppose people could be understandably be confusing V8 with Chromium.

It's using the same JavaScript engine as Chromium, which is of course developed by Chromium and is part of it, but without the rest of Chromium, as Node.js always has.

It's a great example of synecdoche [1]. :)

V8 is tiny compared to the operating system known as chromium.

Anyway, it was just a misunderstanding based on poor writing on the web page.

The word "other" probably shouldn't be there. It seems to wrap Qt. From the NodeGUI page: "it is a wrapper for a native C++ widget toolkit QT".

They're making use of yoga (a layout engine) so I assume that it is not web based (because why would you use yoga otherwise).

Looks like it's node + QT, not chromium.

Seems weird to slander a community instead of stating what happened, which is that the extraneous "other" made the meaning ambiguous.
