Why not put our eggs in a few more baskets with way fewer holes and
more, uh, basket inspectors looking at them, like maybe packaging Minix,
or OpenBSD, or MirageOS, or whatever? I think I stretched that metaphor
but yknow what I mean.
They have seen way more scrutiny than Hurd and also run on more
architectures and while not GPL licensed, AFAIK they are all libre.
Maybe they can't be used in the operating-system-kernel struct field,
but I don't see anything wrong with using Guix to deploy Mirage
unikernel images for instance.
There is even a nascent Scheme unikernel project with Loko Scheme.
Ooor maybe compile some things to WASM and use a WASM+WASI runtime. I
hate webshit but at least there is already tooling and major porting
efforts for WASM.
