The Technology
Why zero layers changes everything.
The Problem
Every layer in a conventional stack is an attack vector. Every dependency is a CVE waiting to happen. A "Hello World" in Node.js pulls in 300MB of node_modules. Each module is a trust decision you didn't make.
Stack Comparison
Conventional Stack
Each layer = attack vector
OmniOS
2 layers. Zero attack surface.
Binary Size Comparison
Why No One Else Can Do This
Go
Go cannot boot without an OS — it requires a runtime and garbage collector.
Rust
Rust needs a minimal runtime and depends on libc for syscalls.
C
C requires libc or a complex HAL — and manual memory management invites CVEs.
OmniOS
OmniOS compiles directly to syscalls. No runtime. No libc. The binary IS the program.
The Math
A 30KB OmniOS binary is more auditable than a "Hello World" in Node.js with its 300MB of node_modules. This is not an opinion — it's arithmetic. Less code = less attack surface.
