| Running Java applications was the original mission of OSv (https://osv.io/). Reading the website now they seem to have pivoted to running unmodified Linux applications. |

| The rabbit hole goes even deeper. Georgios was thinking about this with Jikes even earlier: https://gousios.org/pub/gousios-mscthesis.pdf |

| Does it mean it can run Java compiled to Native Image? |

| ▲ | eyberg 8 days ago | parent | next [-] | | It doesn't necessarily mean that but yes you most definitely can run native images - another example showing that: https://github.com/nanovms/ops-examples/tree/master/java/07-... . Both of these pair very well with unikernels. Especially quarkus has excellent boot time and low mem usage. | |

| ▲ | eyberg 5 days ago | parent | next [-] | | You can also run the full JVM and in fact I'd imagine that's how most of our JVM users actually use it today. | |
| ▲ | alex_duf 5 days ago | parent | prev [-] | | Because the JVM is fairly dynamic so it becomes hard to know which part to prune |
