So there is no "kernel space and user space"? Then how to protect apps, like prevent bad app read other app's user password with pointer calculation.

As per the readme, security is not implemented yet.
Well there is also that small issue that implementing security for this design is pretty much impossible without destroying performance and end result is quite standard operating system.

Polling style scheduling will just be so slow if calling each executable always involves context switch. And then cooperative scheduling isn't really possible if some process doesn't play nice.

The next logical step would be to only support wasm programs ;)
i guess, that since each app is a function, each app only has access to the parameters it was called with.
