> What sucks about open source these days is that companies keep reinventing the wheel with their own branding instead of helping improve the wheel that already exists. While that might be true in other contexts, the tools Oracle has been working on all work with the OCI standards. I actually completely disagree with creating a monoculture around a standard (that's how you get OpenSSL), and the whole reason why I contribute to the OCI standard is specifically so companies are free to create their own thing as long as users have the freedom to change between implementations (or write their own). The situation right now is better than it was 3 years ago before the OCI existed and everyone was trying to make Docker fit their own usecases and needs. > I really don't buy it that Go is a poor choice but that Rust isn't. Take it from me [I'm a maintainer of runc], they're right. I would actually put it in far stronger terms than TFA, but Go has many problems that Rust does not. On the other hand, C/C++ have many problems that Go does not (which is why they went with Rust -- and I applaud them for it). > These days Oracle is synonymous with vendor lock-in which is the antithesis of open source. OCI is an open standard, anyone can contribute. Literally the precise opposite of vendor lock-in. I don't like Oracle either, but bashing them when they do something good is not helping.
