I don't see the point of a dedicated tool for this when it is easy enough just to start a Alpine docker container with a couple commands. As this project is just a wrapper for docker and LXD[1] and those tools are already easy enough for the average SWE to interact with, the project seems to just over-complicate an already existing workflow.

The container runtime (e.g. Docker Engine) needs somewhere to run. It can’t run directly on the macOS kernel. AFAICT that’s the point of this project. (Similar to Lima.)

Why did I read that as "similar to Ligma" ...
