Unikernels are complete standalone environments for your application, that do not require any other infrastructure, other than a hypervisor or a minimal boot loader (or a simple secure userspace loader).
Type safety can add a huge amount of security to systems software. As can removing the bits you don't need.
So we can build unikernels together, sharing configuration, code, formal methods, experience, and taking the pieces that are being built, and the pieces that are being adapted from existing systems, and build the future of the operating system.
