Unikernels: Rise of the Virtual Library Operating System

Some good comments prior of MirageOS <a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7726748" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=7726748</a>

I have always thought that development should be something like this. The only thing you need to resolve is how to handle proprietary source code.<p>Oh and also what if everyone doesn&#x27;t want to code in ocaml?<p>I think we need something similar but built on a type of ontology or description logics or something that represents the program in a common way that is not tied to a particular language representation or model. So I would start with research that does automated program generation in Ocaml and create a semantic model of those concepts.<p>You want to convert the functions from mirageos into this common knowledge representation in a way that integrates with the program generation ontology.<p>You then want to create a projectional editing system which allows for different representations including but not limited to ocaml.

The guy who headed the project was interviewed recently in a podcast: <a href="http://www.se-radio.net/2014/05/episode-204-anil-madhavapeddy-on-the-mirage-cloud-operating-system-and-the-ocaml-language/" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.se-radio.net&#x2F;2014&#x2F;05&#x2F;episode-204-anil-madhavapedd...</a> , he provided some very interesting insights into the MirageOS, Unikernels and Ocaml
