I’m being a bit generous to Docker in the above comment: I believe that this is what users are hoping to achieve and getting closer to achieving than they would otherwise. Docker is basically a roundabout way to get static linking behind Drepper’s back. Almost no one is using it to bin pack such and such CPU/RAM to the request serving process and the batch processing process given finite SKUs.

Modulus the absurdly high barriers to entry, Nix is trivially better for this purpose.
