But they're not solving overlapping sets of problems. That's the point. * WASM competes with native machine code (x86, ARM, etc) as the format of an executable binary. * Container images compete with Apt, RPM, and tarballs as a packaging and configuration mechanism. * Container runtimes compete with systemd as a way to manage process trees. There is no overlap here.
