I like the idea here, but really wish you'd rename it to something which didn't collide with pg's Arc (which runs Hacker News). There is a lot of awesome stuff you can do with "local, short-lived VMs". I've thought about how to do this securely (using hardware) -- an awesome end state would be letting a data owner with local data, and a code author in the cloud, both mutually distrustful, allow data owner's data to be processed by code owner in a safe way mutually agreed by each. You could do this with trustworthy computing, or a dedicated trusted third party environment on the net, or maybe with MPC someday. Not sure if Linux or x86 vm is the right level of abstraction; maybe the "peggo" level where you have a higher level might be better for users. Maybe even something like Docker (but on the client)?
