Perhaps I'm wrong but I feel you've either (1) missed the point or (2) haven't actually looked at the references. Everything is written in a high-level language and the VM is an artefact produced as a result of the process (you don't debug on the VM, you debug the code that generated it).
- nimish 12y agoSure and then when production errors happen I'm left with having to deal with debugging a VM process rather than a User mode process :) Enough can go wrong in the packaging and distribution that it's a real risk. At the end of the unikernel generation pipeline I get a little Xen VM spit out that I can run. How do I debug this guy? It's running on a hypervisor but is essentially in a different environment. I'd love to be able to take code written in one environment and be 100% sure it'd work in another, but that ain't going to happen soon.
