Q: 

Spotify desktop app is developed with javascript?

I have used Spotify for some time now and I thought it was a 100% native desktop app til I saw a HTTP request error inside the application.

So that makes me wondering if Spotify is developed with javascript using frameworks like Titanium.

Anyone knows?

+1  A: 

It uses a web browser component for certain portions (content areas), many larger apps with dynamic content do this...but it is a native app, not written completely in JavaScript.

Doing it this way provides more flexibility and ability to make changes without a client code update.

@Nick. Do you have more information about how to create this javascript component?

@ajsie - It's not a JavaScript component really, it's a browser component, many frameworks have one...they're basically just loading a small webpage.
