"Any application that can be written in JavaScript, will eventually be written in JavaScript."

#3I assume the whole thing goes down when left-pad or some other trivial dependency can't be resolved.

#5One thing I can't seem to find is, is this a true nodejs-based operating system in that it's all single threaded? single-threaded event loop stuff works well for network servers but an OS? To me it seems like a terrible idea.

I'm going to have to assume it's using some form of Node's clustering support, which will let you run up to X instances where X is the maximum number of supported instances for the number of cores you have. Otherwise, you're right, bad combination.

Why not? Many languages and Operating Systems used to be single threaded. Many still functionally are for a lot of things.
Of course it's still challenging but it's built on top of the Linux kernel so it's also not a pure NodeOS (which would probably be impossible).

#8What would be really interesting is Elixir-OS/Erlang-OS where the entire OS can take advantage of a 50 core CPU.

It's still based on the linux kernel.
