Yeah, this seems like a shell and not an operating system. I don't want to hate on someone's efforts, but I am failing to see how this will be of benefit for anyone? I could just be missing something, like the mission or vision, also, FWIW-- I hate NPM. I think it is one of the worst I've used... I stopped using Node on persoanl projects because of it (though it has gotten marginally better since I stopped).
If this was to be a shell, I could see it being useful... There are a few similar projects out there. Though I'd suggest a language like Ruby, as I believe it makes for nicer DSLs than Javascript.
As well, I'd be afraid of Google and betting on V8 for long term support, or non-breaking API changes that cause the "OS" to shit the bed.
