There are definitely some similarities. I think the main difference is the compatibility of Wasm / WASI. Often for unikernel / libOS, you would need to recompile applications to target the specific unikernel / libOS. The goal is that you should be able to take a component that you would run with Wasmtime or other component model compatible runtime and be able to run that on Hyperlight-Wasm.
