And Windows. On Windows, Docker can actually create and manage Windows containers in addition to Linux ones.
macOS just doesn't have the namespacing primitives for such a scenario as far as I'm aware.

The reason why I’m bullish on WASM is the hope that there will not be a “Linux container” or a “x86 binary”, but only universal binaries and libraries. Unlike the JVM though, they’ll be sandboxed and don’t impose a GC with 200 tuning parameters. Lastly, there is language interop on an FFI level between any two languages that bind against WASM. In short, it’s an interop dream of mine. That doesn’t mean I endorse premature shilling of everything WASM. That can do more harm than good.
- my123 4y agoWASM performance just isn't there. At scale, evaluating the costs just made me shudder. For server scenarios, no, this just isn't it. The JVM does a lot of very useful things that WA does not try to handle. Java is not going anywhere and is still going to need a GC. The WA runtime does _not_ handle memory safety inside of the app at all as of today...
