Brenden Gregg also has a great post on unikernel models: http://www.brendangregg.com/blog/2016-01-27/unikernel-profil...

From my read, it counters Bryan Cantrill's claim that, "unikernels are undebuggable".

From personal experience I'm also quite certain Bryan Cantrill's claim is spurious in that regard, as I've used both debugging and tracing facilities w/ LING unikernels to assess a number of runtime and clustering issues.

Ling is a special beast since erlang is basically begging to be it's own runtime os.
A language runtime is an OS, when running bare metal.

That is how we used to program many 8 and 16 bit applications, and how many keep programming embedded systems nowadays.

Are you still using LING? The project looks like it died.
