GRPC in includeOS

[gogo40]

I am seeing that includeOS already has support to protobuffer. Would be possible give support to GRPC?

I personally feel includeOS might enjoy a better user reception if it focuses on supporting features that enable modern micro-service development environment, instead of replicating or factoring OS functionalities into unikernel libraries.

For example, with a RPC framework, GRPC here, and a file API, a micro-service can almost implement most functional features, not including security or management etc. That in many cases would be very useful for internal only services to be rewritten in IncludeOS.

WDYT?

Caveat:
I was only loosely following IncludeOS and Unikernel, my understanding of the project could be superficial.

In my case, the main usage would be to execute math code in different unikernel nodes. I don't worry about security.

Currently, I am already using GRPC to do HPC. What I have in mind is port my math code to be executed directly with IncludeOs + GRPC.
