    MirageOS is a library operating system that constructs unikernels

  • I've been reading about operating systems implemented in type-safe languages like Haskell or OCaml or Rust (this paper for Haskell, and mirage OS for OCaml). Of the numerous advantages Haskell or OCaml may bring to systems programming, what are the demonstrated advantages of having a type-safe kernel? What's driving the interest in this field of research?

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
