Search Results for "standalone"

...Instead of deploying a full operating system, you compile a Haskell program into a tiny image that boots as its own VM, which reduces the attack surface and startup time. The project adapts GHC and the Haskell runtime to a minimal environment, providing the I/O, networking, and memory facilities necessary for standalone services. Its design encourages highly isolated services—each VM does one job—making it attractive for security-sensitive components and research on microservice-style architectures. Developers get to keep Haskell’s strong typing, concurrency abstractions, and functional style while targeting bare virtual hardware. Although device support is intentionally narrow compared to general-purpose OSes, the trade-off is predictability and very small, auditable deployments.
