Hi, was thinking if getting info on Disks, VM's etc. was ever planned or in the works. Specifically looking for something similar to systeminformation

AFAIK that is the most complete info collection tool out there, and if that is done in Node.js. I think all that is definitely possible with C++.

VMs both (a) are not part of the system and (b) would require IPC with VirtualBox (not feasible, obvious reasons), Hyper-V, and/or being root to have a sensible read on KVM. Not to mention that they're by definition impossible to detect if you're not actually running them through KVM et al.

Disks are shaky, but if you manage a sensible enough abstraction that both makes sense and is not insane, then yeah, why not. Or, rather, what'd you expect to see in that domain?
