I was excited about this because I use docker-compose to run a service written in Rust. The final command of the container is “cargo watch -x run” and the compiles take 1-2 minutes per hot reload. Porter solved this by completely sidestepping images, but I’m still considering if this is worth having the user install cargo on their host machine (in the case of porter) and give up hermetic development. Not sure yet, but thanks for this tool!

I think it's worth installing software on your OS if your situation allows for it. I mostly use PHP and NodeJS, which are easy to manage with tools like Laravel Valet or nvm. I've been doing this for years and love it. I can imagine that if you have various difficult services to install and maintain on your main OS, using Docker is a more convenient solution.
