Is it just a hobby, and won't be big and professional like gnu?

Sounds kinda like gVisor more than Unikraft? With a maybe-faster intercept path?

FTL v0.1.0 was just released, adding async Rust support (multi-thread Tokio runtime) and lots of missing pieces in the Linux compatibility layer.

(not my project)

So it's a microkernel...ish? And it runs Linux programs and supports enough features to serve its own website. Excellent; I hope it takes off.

Maybe it is time to look at other new operating systems that are more memory safe by default and don't have any legacy bloat.

Now that we have a KVM 0day + VM escape vulnerability [0] right now.
