> Docker is a system for shipping your laptop to production, and because of the inadequacies in the tooling of those popular languages, it's in high demand. I know this is in jest, but I don't agree with this. Docker is a way to run code in an environment you fully control without knowing exactly what it will be running on. Many of the popular tools can generate a single file, but they'll be built for a specific architecture or require a certain run time.

Yeah, that's a very fair interpretation. Honestly, a lot of programming languages need a lot of files to be in exactly the right place or your code will blow up. I like minimizing the number of files you need around, but making sure that you can have all of those files you need in production is a good strategy as well.
