What Hacker News says
2 sourcesA compelling introduction and explanation of Unikraft took place at USENIX LISA '18:

I don't know if I'm a huge fan of the website that was posted here (the quick start doesn't actually show a python application, which is a bit odd), but Unikraft occupies an interesting spot in the unikernel landscape, it's very promising.
Here are all some interesting languages/programs you can use it with:
- https://github.com/unikraft/app-helloworld-go
- https://github.com/unikraft/app-micropython
- https://github.com/unikraft/app-nginx
- https://github.com/unikraft/app-ruby
- https://github.com/unikraft/app-lua
- https://github.com/unikraft/app-redis
- https://github.com/unikraft/app-python3
If you're interested in Unikernels, some more interesting/close-to-production-ready entries in the space worth watchin
