New top story on Hacker News: Ask HN: Examples of Microkernels?

Ask HN: Examples of Microkernels?
5 by agomez314 | 4 comments on Hacker News.
I'm reading through the MIT xv6 OS handbook and code (here: https://ift.tt/L2ZHAtD) and they mention the fact that they created it as a monolithic kernel since most unix systems are monolithic. They then introduce the microkernel concept. Are there microkernel concepts out there (especially code) I can check out? I'm curious to see how userspace processes communicate to kernel processes to execute privileged actions.
