I haven't worked a lot with Docker or similar containerization tools, but my impression is they require you to have an internet connection to download stuff. At least with Docker, when you write or download a docker file for the first time, it's just a description of stuff that needs to be downloaded and maybe commands that need to be executed. This kind of thing is qualitatively much worse than a statically linked executable binary in terms. > a stack that can create standalone static binaries. Yea, a language that has the notion of a compiler is a MUST if you actually care about this kind of thing.
