You can do that would with a single static binary though. At the point it either runs or does not on the system. How is that problem? Unless I need it to work

You can do that would with a single static binary though. At the point it either runs or does not on the system. How is that problem? Unless I need it to work with an old version. I would want anything I write to work with the latest version of a library, os ect... If it breaks while I am writing it that means I am likely doing something wrong or found a bug in underlying dependency or system. -edit- I do suppose people develop software with languages that can't be compiled. Although, I see GO developers mention docker.
