What does this mean, removing the OS from the equation?
- xena 7y agoI vouched for this comment because I didn't go into detail much in the talk. The main idea is to remove a lot of the kernel and related overhead from application code, kind of like an exokernel. I am working on using seL4 as a base for an OS that only runs tasks in WebAssembly. Having things implemented such that the OS is not a fundamental linking requirement means that I can easily port applications to the browser. I don't have a working sample at the moment though, I somehow broke my last ones and haven't had time to fix them yet.
