The distinction between an OS and a language VM is blurry. When the language VM has such robust support for concurrency and IPC, the distinction is, in terms of functionality if not name, pretty much obliterated.

It makes me wonder if anyone has made VMs using the virtualization hardware in modern computers. Nested page tables seem exceptionally useful just as a jumping off point. Maybe the fact that they would still have to use the native instruction set is the limiting factor.
