    FYI, erlang && elixir workloads can run on Nanos: https://github.com/nanovms/ops-examples/tree/master/elixir .

    I do understand what you are asking for though. There used to be an older project called erlang-on-xen: https://github.com/cloudozer/ling .

    It'd be great to see this idea revisited although you'll need to create some sort of new handling/framework.

    No, it was not Jitsu. Jitsu is based on MiragOS/OCaml, Erlang-on-Xen was also a Xen-based unikernel like MirageOS but was (as you can guess) Erlang specific. I think you can now find it at https://github.com/cloudozer/ling .

    Yesterday I was made aware of this example of using a simple (Sinatra/Flask/Express-like) web framework on top of Mirage:

    https://github.com/anuragsoni/ocaml-opium-unikernel/blob/mas...

    If not mistaken one should be able to use ReasonML[1] as a language frontend with this as well, thereby bringing down the entry barrier.

    Lwt [1] based web frameworks can be used on MirageOS if they provide an interface that allows someone to swap out the unix dependent pieces. One such framework is Opium [2], that provides most of its features in a unix independent code library `opium_kernel`. Its fairly straightforward to run an opium app on mirage. This example needs to be updated to the newest apis in the released version of Opium but this can provide some hints about how to run an opium app on mirage: https://github.com/anuragsoni/ocaml-opium-unikernel.

    If a lower level web toolkit is sufficient then ocaml's cohttp [3] library has been available on mirage for quite some time now.
