Wow. This thread went just as I thought it will... The HN way. I hadn't any experience with unikernels (still student), but there are few concerning things about them. And the main thing is that those things that are concerning are at it's core. I have only respect and admiration for Mr. Cantrill, but this post felt kinda strange. After reading the last paragraph it sounded like and ad. Maybe they got scared of Docker possibly expanding and taking part of their cookie. I don't know, but these discussions were interesting to read at least...

well.. they sort of embraced docker to market their platform which was already a better docker.. ie they took solaris zones + crossbrow network, and stuck the docker api on it (in nodejs.. well no ones perfect ;-), then did a brilliant engineer/hack on lxzones for solaris kernels to let you run linux userspace on it.. re the hacker news way.. i'm still waiting for the hackers to come out and redeems this article's comments. [edit] haven't finished reading all comments.
