  1. You may be one of today's lucky 10K. https://github.com/cloudozer/ling Erlang on Xen. But also one of today's unlucky 10K as it hasn't been updated for 10 years.

  2. …an OS. I really liked that approach and am wondering why it seems to have hit a dead end. [0] https://github.com/cloudozer/ling
  3. …understand what you are asking for though. There used to be an older project called erlang-on-xen: https://github.com/cloudozer/ling . It'd be great to see this idea revisited although you'll need to create some sort of new…

  4. …run into is that BEAM is very good, and would be tough to beat. I was an admirer of Erlang on Xen: https://github.com/cloudozer/ling
  5. …request, and shut down in less time than it takes a cloud to start spinning up an instance :) [1] https://github.com/cloudozer/ling

  6. …every major flavour of OS. There also used to be an implementation of the BEAM VM directly on Xen: https://github.com/cloudozer/ling / https://web.archive.org/web/20190507184436/https://erlangonx...

  7. …unikernel like MirageOS but was (as you can guess) Erlang specific. I think you can now find it at https://github.com/cloudozer/ling .

  10. …it, and then the program runs within that guest os. The http://erlangonxen.org/ folks made Ling ( https://github.com/cloudozer/ling ), software that enables an Erlang BEAM VM to be run directly on Xen, and thereby run a single Erlang…

  11. That's a shame, because Erlang as a unikernel already exists (as https://github.com/cloudozer/ling , unfortunately unmaintained). I'd be really keen on seeing an Erlang port to the Solo5 API, which would give you KVM/bhyve/OpenBSD…
  12. Shame https://github.com/cloudozer/ling seems to have stalled.
