Subject: GNU Hurd at Guix days
Date: Tue, 6 Feb 2024 07:48:56 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240206074856.djihq2oudugzti2v@mailx.thebird.nl> (raw)
We had a very interesting discussion about the Hurd. I ran the Hurd
before, but now I am going down the rabbit hole of reading device
drivers and such. It is very interesting.
I envisage a 'Cloud Hurd' that have minimal hardware demands and a
Guix system definition. Running a Guile webserver, for example, could
be really, really tiny. ARM support and RISC-V support may come and
that will make it even more exciting. Try and trim a Linux kernel to
size and you know what I mean. Goblin nano services, anyone? Or an
out-of-the-box mail service?
It is not about performance, obviously, but about minimalism.
I hit this paper online btw - a recent generic writeup:
