Of course you can run applications directly on the microkernel. L4Re is
short for "L4 Runtime Environment", meaning that it provides you with a
set of interfaces to build applications on top of Fiasco.OC. These
interfaces include a C/C++ standard library amongst others.

Do you have a specific application in mind?
