> Docker first started getting traction when people were building their software with make. A result of this is that containerisation took off hardest in ecosystems without good build and deploy tools. Getting exactly the right version of the application, every library, and the runtime has traditionally been a struggle in Ruby, a nightmare in Python, torture in C, etc, but pretty easy in Java. As a result, most of the Java shops i know are still deploying by copying a zip file or some such onto a server.
