### Motivation

Genode's primary focus seems to be security: reducing the number of "trusted"
lines of code for certain operations and applications, while allowing large,
untrusted, complicated applications to run at the same time on the same
hardware. The other benefit is the potential to maintain guaranteed real-time
performance while running on modest resources with significantly less
development effort and testing.

In short, the architecture is appealing for building systems that need to run
reliably with little or no intervention in a variety of environments, to do so
efficiently on low-performance hardware, and to still allow complex
applications to be integrated or built on top.
