Yeah. I had the beginning of some thought about C vs assembly, but that is already well discussed. This seems like another iteration of that topic to me. It has inspired me to try to replicate a Dockerfile using bash and these "lower level constructs" at some point.

The article may have been more convincing if it contained examples of Dockerfiles and an equivalent shell script. There were some links that I think went into this, but they looked pretty verbose so I didn't look into them tonight.
