kitty is great, but I stopped using it because iTerm's terminal search feature - which I use almost daily - is much more ergonomic. The existing solution in kitty (pipe scrollback buffer to something like less/vim and search with /) is a lot worse IMO which is unfortunately a dealbreaker for me

I have a repository where I make classic programs (game of life, sudoku solver, brainfuck interpreter, etc) but entirely within Typescript's type system

> First of all, there are no otters here. I'm utterly sorry about that.
incredibly important suggestion: replace "utterly" with "otterly"

Awesome work on this, it looks like a game changer!
From my (admittedly limited) knowledge on this space, it seems like this is a straight upgrade over WASM, with the only limiting factor being that your stack is limited to Bun + C. Are there any downsides of this feature when compared with the alternatives mentioned at the start of the article? There are some tradeoffs listed at the bottom but I'm not sure how napi/WASM perform in those aspects either.

Starting off with "In the realm of..." instantly gave it away

This is hilarious, I'm changing all my websites to have "Made with cold indifference by $NAME" in the footer now

The last time I tried, it was pretty slow to fire up, especially when I tried to run multiple submissions at once. It's also even more overkill for my use case; I currently use isolate (https://github.com/ioi/isolate) which is just a wrapper around cgroups/namespaces, and it's been a lot faster.
Sidenote: I'm not really looking to replace it, I was just asking out of curiosity since this is my first time hearing of unikernels

Would unikernels be feasible for online judge platforms (e.g. codeforces, leetcode)? I was thinking something along the lines of: spawning a unikernel for each submission -> running a single file program -> streaming the output back to a server, all in <3s and potentially with multiple submissions running in parallel. I'm fairly new to this, so I'm not sure if that would be overkill.
