As things have been developing, first with virtualization becoming widespread, and then with things like Docker continuing the trend of packing things off into 'separated' containers, I have wondered at what point we will get to the place where a tool is developed which provides a highly modular kernel along with the tools to quickly spin up a whole system which has exactly and only the resources a particular subsystem needs. And, of course, a basic system that spins these things up when needed. Not just microservices, but atto-scale services. It sounds like this is the sort of thing Forth promoters could help us realize.
