It's a reasonable point but perhaps a bit outdated? Containers more or less allow interpreted languages to be "statically linked". In the past you had to care more about whether system X had library Y installed but that seems like an edge case in today's world.
- mieseratte 9y agoNot everyone can, or wants to use containers. They solve certain issues but bring others into the mix. This is hardly a "solved" problem. It is very much not outdated.
- NervousTechno 9y ago> This is hardly a "solved" problem You query the language runtime for the version and use it as an assert. It's standard everywhere, except in the web where polyfills are still a thing.
