So what's the purpose of Docker according to Docker? Reproducible builds, consistent dev environments? I always thought it was to have production and development environments the same, but these statements contradict that.. Unless they expect you to run WASM on your servers..

IMO it's actually not a great experience. In dev, you need to make changes, in prod, you shouldn't, so they're not the same at all. Docker has many strengths: reproducible builds, consistent deployment strategies(k8s doesn't care what's in your container), a consistent DSL for building apps, The ability to extend a huge collection of other Dockerfiles to get what you want. I'm sure there are more.
