Quick note on comparison with node-webkit / atom-shell:
node-webkit and atom-shell embeds NodeJS along the chromium content module forcing its user to use not only NodeJS but a particular build of it.
On the contrary, Thrust embeds the Chromium content module and exposes an API on the standard IO, which makes it bindable in any language and works perfectly well as a dependency with vanilla nodeJS / Go / Python
Makes the distribution of cross-platform GUI apps through the pip/npm possible.
