It is doable, but I do not believe existing java libraries not written well enough to perform great and consume less space.

I do believe in separating code between the fast and slow path. My goal is to bring open source, well optimized common libraries to VM world.

Platform can handle a simple http server with a NIC as of today but with custom apis.

Kotlin and groovy works for hello world, did not tried further as I am thinking of bringing those languages by eliminating Java ties. I am aware of Kotlin native but 200K for a hello world is not reasonable. I can fit in 21K for VM.

If you have killer app idea for this platform I can make it happen in a very short period of time.
