On a tangential note, does anyone here remember Erlang on Xen [0]? It's a project from a decade ago, allowing you to package your code to run directly on the hypervisor without an OS. I really liked that approach and am wondering why it seems to have hit a dead end.

Erlang on Xen was most definitely an inspiration behind what we're working on with the https://nanos.org unikernel.

It is not the same (as it uses Linux kernel) but Nerves project is an interesting way of using BEAM (Erlang VM) for "embedded" applications.
