Gregory's Server@stephenjudkins @anildash @simon this was the refrain about docker too, particularly from the BSD community. But it nailed those three aspects and so adoption skyrocketed whether the haters thought it worthwhile or not. I’m really just becoming aware of wasm, particularly outside the browser, but it certainly feels like it’s got the same energy/momentum.

@stephenjudkins @anildash @simon yea it’s frankly a little weird that underneath all the declarative and immutable tooling that got built on top we have this imperative image build process that gets captured in a tarball with networking and storage defined at runtime. But, that also made it easy to start using, and flexible for many use-cases. Which really drove the adoption piece of the puzzle (and nature of FOSS meant features followed that adoption) |
@mgaruccio @anildash @simon yes. It was the standard that made it important, not the constituent technologies, which had been in Linux for quite awhile. I'm actually pretty annoyed that docker/OCI was the standard that took off, I think it could have been done a lot differently and better
