There are a lot of people betting on WASM as a successor to linux containers for many use cases. Sockets and threads have been the main barriers IMHO to that happening. One exciting advantage of WASM over containers is that it can run across different processor architectures and operating systems (the proprietary distribution of Docker runs on Mac but it does so by running a linux VM and containers not built for amd64 are noticeably slower).
