That's a good point, Gnome Shell builds on lots of C code, and the project in this submission is at a different layer of the stack than it. What prompted my comment was the thought that people who were interested in a javascript window manager might also be interested in a javascript desktop environment. I mean, pulling up a javascript console and interactively poking at your environment is just a few keypresses away at all times. That's kinda cool. True, it's not "javascript all the way down". but I don't think that necessarily makes it less interesting. For example, Atom is a popular text editor amongst web developers, even though the underlying components (Chromium and Node.js) are written in C++.
