TIL that the GUI of ReactOS isn't based on React. All these years spent baffled that who would like to build an OS with JS, thanks to me only reading the headlines lol

Well ReactOS did have a 15 year lead on the name over React...1998 vs 2013, going by first public release of each.

ReactOS is way older than React. In fact, the first times when I heard about React I thought ReactOS was becoming mainstream, but no...

If you an OS based in JS, maybe the closer we had was NodeOS [1]

Or maybe https://bellard.org/jslinux/
