Anyone know what happened to ‘erlang on xen’ ? Activity appears to have died off in 2015-ish.
This sounds like a very cool concept. I’m curious if (1) focus shifted to a successor or (2) there was some fundamental technical difficulty that could not be overcome and people quit.

I have heard somewhere that the project evolved into “rewrite the BEAM” which has historically been the graveyard of empires for such projects.

I wonder if one can use this, instead of BEAM, for an ‘erlang as kernel/os’

I don’t love rust, so, the project gets a “meh” from me.
Lunatic, although written in Rust, afaik, supports any language that compiles to wasm.
It’s only the “manager” that’s written in Rust.
