Though - for some folks - it might make things simpler, i am no friend of Docker.
What the Docker founder is saying about Docker now: Solomon Hykes @solomonstre <https://mobile.twitter.com/solomonstre> · 27. März 2019 <https://mobile.twitter.com/solomonstre/status/1111004913222324225> If WASM+WASI existed in 2008, we wouldn't have needed to created Docker. That's how important it is. Webassembly on the server is the future of computing. A standardized system interface was the missing link. Let's hope WASI is up to the task! Source: https://twitter.com/solomonstre/status/1111004913222324225 Picolisp compiles perfectly fine with emcc Emscripten C/C++ compiler and runs perfectly in (server side) Webassembly containers. It's completely replacing any Docker/Hyper-V/VMware/Amazon AWS Lambda solution. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/WebAssembly/C_to_wasm And when you look deeper into Webassembly, you will notice, that - in itself - it's a Lisp, very much like Picolisp. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/WebAssembly/Understanding_the_text_format Lisp now rules the world. And Linux has won! ;-) Have fun! Guido Stepken Am Mittwoch, 25.
