[Qt-interest] node.js electrifying the javascript world - how about a Qt version?

node.js is an event driven javascript web server with extremely high
performance that is electrifying the javascript and web development
world.

The thing is, it's built using Google V8 Javascript engine.
I'd love to see an equivalent built using qt and the webkit/
squirrelfish javascript engine.
It seems that Qt would be extremely well suited to building an
equivalent to node.js and would probably be better at certain things.
For example node.js does not support gzip compressed HTTP responses
nor does it support HTTPS. Surely a Qt based version of the same
concept would make it easy to implement such features?
Anyone out there have any interest in implementing a Qt/Webkit based
version of node.js? I don;t have the skills to do it but I'd love to
see the results of someone smarter than I making it happen.
Thoughts or comments anyone? Would this be a hard thing to implement
in Qt?
