Roadmap

Modularization/"Librarization"

Hide most symbols and C++ standard library (Partially addressed by #af2d371a61f6ab1eb5a066a0c3e93230faf6611c and other commits)
- Issue 97 - Be more selective on symbols exported from the kernel
- The research results with numbers described in this discussion and the older one seem to indicate that both C++ standard library and other non-public symbols should be hidden in the kernel to make this goal achievable
Create toolchain to optionally build custom kernel tailored to specific hypervisor or app
- See this original discussion
Reduce kernel size
- Shrinking kernel described in this early discussion would really be a result of hiding C++ library and most symbols (see above) but also conditionally compiling in/out various modules (see the first bullet in the Modularization/"Librarization")
Expose C++ APIs as C to hide C++ completely

Also, reach out to Spirent to see if any more networking related bugs fixed can be brought over from the https://github.com/SpirentOrion/osv fork

Improve capstan
- Better support QEMU on OSX (new accelerators)
- Support pulling artifacts from GitHub nightly releases repo
- Support running Firecracker, QEMU microvm
- Support Virtio-FS
Create IntelliJ, Maven and or Gradle plugins to deploy Java, Node, etc apps
Run Docker images on OSv (possibly musl-based like Alpine are better)
- There is already an existing example - https://github.com/cloudius-systems/osv-apps/tree/master/openjdk12-jre-from-docker
