Is there anything that describes architecture of the verb? Like https://quark.sciter.com/ or something ... My guess: it is a JavaVM combined with CEF(WebKit) to achieve actually what?

Looks like a description of simplex (and/or montecarlo) method for solving linear equations. Or did I get it wrong?

Same demo in VanilaJS and Sciter.JS : https://github.com/c-smile/sciter-js-sdk (see screenshots there). Binary is ~5MB, and that is HTML/CSS + QuickJS + NodeJS runtime. Versus 50MB+ of NodeGUI that is Node.JS + QT

I suspect that they package whole WebKit for HTML preview and so it positions Qt not too far from ElectronJS.
