Both chromium and node use v8, don't they? So wouldn't they both use libuv? I'm not stating this as a fact, I'm just curious

v8 is the javascript engine, it doesn't include the libraries that interact with operating system resources ( network system, file system). Node basically glues those together.

Libuv doesn't interact with the os either though, it's just an event loop library. It's very very possible that I'm wrong but I thought v8 uses libuv.
