Hi, I just completed the proof-of-concept for a Go unikernel, Unik, which allows Go programs to run without an operating system directly in virtual machines. Unlike similar projects Unik is written in Go (and assembler), and it is compiled into Go programs just like any other Go dependency. Unik does includes a UEFI bootloader written in C.
The source code is open sourced at https://eliasnaur.com/unik along with a demo that demonstrates a funtional Gio GUI program (GPU+mouse works, I ran out of time to implement a keyboard driver). The project is an experiment in a larger exploration of the question: "what if the operating system process abstraction were a virtual machine? It's also a response to my failed attempt to get unikernel support into upstream Go project (https://github.com/golang/go/issues/35956); Unik pretends to be a Linux kernel, implementing enough system calls to fool the Go runtime. -- elias -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
