The containerization movement is interesting - while having these 'sealed' virtual environments and reproducible system builds is the right direction, I'm amazed at the size and weight of each of these.
- fnord123 9y agoSure. By sealed I mean you compiled the program, you might have a turing incomplete configuration (e.g. ini, toml, json) and you can reason about the program. And by evolving (or, I guess unsealed) you are in the process of editing the program. Or you monkey patch it when you run it. But with things like LD_PRELOAD, different .so minor versions, etc, a compiled program suddenly straddles the categories. Hence my comment about reproducible builds and containerization.
