Please go to NixOS.org. The Nix package manager, Nixpkgs package set, and NixOS distribution is exactly what you want.

Nix, similar to Bazel, Buck, Pants, and Please are very close to what I'd like but doesn't cover the exact functionality I'm looking for.

Being built on standardized container technology. Also support for Windows builds would be nice.

Well, if one of your criteria is to build in docker you should use a docker. I mean if one of my requirement was that program should be written in Python I would write it in Python.

If you need to create Docker or OCI image you can use nixpkgs functions[1][2]

As for Windows, yeah, it's not natively supported, I see there's an issue opened, but no idea when a support would be added.

There's also this[3] not sure if suitable for what you need. My understanding is that it allows building for Windows targets on Linux.
