Now <i>that</i> is a bit closer to what I&#x27;m talking about. I appreciate the tip about this service as I know some Java people that might like it. You might find it interesting that these Java VM services are actually similar to what safety-critical, embedded industry has been doing for a while:<p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.aonix.com&#x2F;pdf&#x2F;PercDatasheet.pdf" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.aonix.com&#x2F;pdf&#x2F;PercDatasheet.pdf</a><p>They run POSIX and safety-critical apps side-by-side on a microkernel (eg QNX, INTEGRITY) w&#x2F; latter usually on a built-for-purpose runtime like PERC. They also would combine app, dependencies, and runtime into one image that could go into a ROM. Services like Boxfuse are doing it for cloud but the model goes back over a decade with proven benefit. Goes back further in security kernels (eg Aesec&#x27;s GEMSOS or BAE&#x27;s XTS-400) where they did same thing for preventing sensitive components from leaking to ported POSIX&#x2F;Linux apps. So, it goes back almost three decades now. That&#x27;s how long it takes industry to learn apparently. ;)<p>EDIT: Wait, you&#x27;re the founder rather than just a user. You might have heard of some of this advanced, clever Java stuff already then. Haha.
