Crude or anemic? The program does what you want or it doesn't. Quit trying to make it a human.

Edit: If the author can believe programs are crude or anemic he clearly likes to look at them from a high level, but you need a low level view to get excited about unikernels.

Edit: What?



The author is a kernel developer. He cowrote DTrace and worked at Sun as a kernel developer while they developed Zones and ZFS. I don't see how a kernel guy could only see programs from a high level.


That is confusing. Maybe he just doesn't like unikernels.

This is true. He has expressed hatred of them for a very long time. I'm not sure why (this article appears to explain it, but I don't feel particularly convinced by some of the points).
