Hi,
I just completed the proof-of-concept for a Go unikernel, Unik, which
allows Go programs
to run without an operating system directly in virtual machines. Unlike
similar projects
Unik is written in Go (and assembler), and it is compiled into Go programs
just like any other
Go dependency. Unik does includes a UEFI bootloader written in C.
The source code is open sourced at
https://eliasnaur.com/unik
along with a demo that demonstrates a funtional Gio GUI program (GPU+mouse
works, I ran
out of time to implement a keyboard driver).
The project is an experiment in a larger exploration of the question: "what
if the operating
system process abstraction were a virtual machine? It's also a response to
my failed attempt
to get unikernel support into upstream Go project
(https://github.com/golang/go/issues/35956);
Unik pretends to be a Linux kernel, implementing enough system calls to
fool the Go runtime.
