Yes I am aware of it. I also like it a lot. The Q Platform is able to interoperate with that Q library as well as with Angular, etc.

There are also several languages named Q. I don't think "Q Platform" is the same thing as a promises framework. It's not even for Javascript only. So why downvote the platform because there is something named similar to it?
