I'm kind of infatuated with the unikernel / libraryOS concepts. I think they're really on to something, especially when you consider how many systems are devoted purely to a single configuration and set of processes for large periods of time. Some time ago, I listened to a talk given by one of the OpenMirage devs where he described substantial memory & complexity reductions and subsequent efficiency gains they were able to achieve compared to a comparable existing Unix System. Moreover, after thinking about this for a while (and having a lot of experience working on embedded systems) I'm fairly confident there are still more opportunities for optimisation by removing ubiquitous but now actually unneeded layers of abstraction.
