Mirage is a programming platform for building high-performance, portable networked applications. It can target standard UNIX platforms, and also compile applications into a standalone operating system that runs under the Xen hypervisor.

It is based around the Objective Caml language, with a replacement standard library and syntax extensions. You can read an overview of the project in the USENIX HotCloud paper available at:

An early self-hosting website (that may be down fairly often!) is available at http://www.openmirage.org/
