A: Let's do stuff with containers. B: What's a container? A: It lets you execute a sequence of commands in an isolated and controlled environment that can be readily rebuilt, cloned or disposed of. B: How do we do that? Using a standard procedural format such as a shell script or sequential command list? A: Far too simple. Let's pipe everything through a new and evolving middleware control stack that re-implements standard primitives like file creation but lets you introduce new bugs and edge cases in any language you choose to use, thereby ensuring the host environment also requires additional configuration! And keep that interface unstable! And definitely don't write man pages! B: TF? Those who don't understand Unix are condemned to reinvent it, poorly. - Henry Spencer
