Gee thanks for explaining the container ecosystem to me.
Docker wasn't stolen from anything. It built on top of existing things, even worked on new things, and provided a nice abstraction to everything.
> provide something like Dockerfile that's less golang-inspired and more linux-inspired
What? Is the thing that's golang inspired the image references? OK...
- benatkin 2y agoCo-opted it is what I mean by stole. The Dockerfile takes from golang IMO, it's intentionally very low on syntax. Just like go's text/template and html/template.
- cpuguy83 2y agoThat's what makes it approachable (though I don't agree it has an semblance to go other than "FROM <ref>" being fully qualified (minus the carve-out for Hub), but even then it can absolutely act more like a local import if you have an image with that ref locally (or you can even override it in your build command in a couple of different ways). Also note, Docker can build whatever format you want, it just defaults to the Dockerfile format, but you can give it whatever syntax parser you want.
