I think it's a step backwards if platform specific containers like Capsule pick up. Nodeck and Gontainer next? It's more productive to develop general containe

  Docker isn't a container -- it's a packaging solution for containers. Capsule is another packaging solution that can be launched in the same kind of container. Also, the JVM isn't a platform; it's the biggest platform by a very wide margin for server-side applications. So the containers are still general, and you use them for all platforms and they all interoperate. I just see no sense in requiring an extra, inconvenient packaging step for a platform that already packages applications well.

  What you're asking for is a PaaS. For those wanting Docker support, Cloud Foundry and OpenShift Origin are available. For those who also want Buildpacks, Cloud Foundry supports that out of the box. Disclaimer (deep breath): I previously worked on the CF Buildpacks team, and I work for Pivotal Labs, a division of Pivotal, the company which donates the majority of engineering effort to Cloud Foundry.
