   @ignaloidas @wolf480pl Single-language to me is horribly uninteresting and many have fallen down the broken path of Unikernels.
   ( http://dtrace.org/blogs/bmc/2016/01/22/unikernels-are-unfit-for-production/ )
   
   That said I could find Erlang BEAM VM style of OS be interesting but uuh… that has processes, lol.
   And if you would want it at OS-level you will want a different kind of hardware protection, which pretty much doesn't exists outside of laboratories.

     @lanodan@queer.hacktivis.me @wolf480pl@mstdn.io I may sound insane here, but I don't think suff like "processes" should exist in a user-focused operating system.
     
     Microkernels themselves also are kinda Meh IMO, I'd rather use a language that can properly isolate components without the need of context-switching instead of going the SeL4 route of endlessly micro-optimising that single component of the kernel.

     @wolf480pl@mstdn.io Tbh I have zero excitement for it, because at least in my view, it very much still brings the long-outdated unix concepts with it.
     
     Those concepts should be long dead.

     @ignaloidas @wolf480pl Unix concepts? Most of it is inspired by SeL4, with posix stuff thrown in a corner probably like wine is on linux.

     What's the chance that in 5 years we'll be running Drew's Helios and not needing to reboot for kernel updates anymore?
