And on that note, I just found this list of UniKernel projects:

http://unikernel.org/projects/

I have especially had hopes for the UniK [1] project, as it was/is written in Go AFAIK. I see now it incorporates work from the Mirage project as well. Not sure what is the status of this project anymore though.

Unik was just a build tool that utilized other projects like Rump, Mirage, IncludeOS, etc. It's now dead since Solo pivoted a very long time ago to service mesh/api gateways.

The GoRump port they use was from us and then we realized we needed to code our own from the ground up for many reasons so we wrote https://nanos.org (runs as a go unikernel in GCP).

I didn't read your message, so I just clicked and I found that great nice project from Solo.io (the company behind Gloo Edge, etc.). Freaking awesome... I thought:

> Not sure what is the status of this project anymore

Hah, yea, should have checked that :D ... but yea, I stopped hearing news from solo.io / UniK some time ago, so it makes sense.
