Some great\naudience questions and follow-ups after the talk, including some who were even\nwondering when we’ll see unikernels as ready for the desktop! Of course, with\nthe release of the <a href=\"https://docker.com/...\">Docker for Mac</a> and [Docker for Windows][dfw] products,\nit’s arguable that we’ve beaten Linux to that accolade, as both products make\nextensive use of <a href=\"https://mirage.io\">MirageOS</a> unikernel libraries. Having said that, I was\npleased to be told that the message about unikernels having a range of\ndeployment scenarios, and particularly partial deployments into micro-service\nenvironments made sense to many who came to speak to me afterwards.</p>\n<p>This was followed by a slightly expanded version of that talk earlier today at\nthe <a href=\"https://devoxx.be/\">Devox Belgium</a> conference. <a href=\"https://devoxx.be/\">Devoxx</a> is primarily a Java community\nso I was interested to see how the talk would go down given that <a href=\"https://mirage.io\">MirageOS</a> is\nstaunchly OCaml-centric, and the <a href=\"http://unikernel.org/\">unikernels</a> movement in general is language\nspecific and (at least until now) somewhat weighted toward functional\nprogramming, our good friends at <a href=\"http://www.includeos.org/\">IncludeOS</a> notwithstanding. In the end it\nseemed to go pretty well, based on what little I could see through the bright\nlights– maybe one day I’ll get used to that when being videoed! Certainly some\ngood questions again, on the specific utility of unikernels to IoT, the\nrelationship between unikernels and Docker, and more besides.</p>\n<p>Anyway, I hope anyone who came to either talk enjoyed it and found it\ninteresting.
