I use systemd-nspawn. It works on a 3.10.87 kernel on mips64. That's pretty impressive.

Type annotations more completely describe a program. This can be useful if your code-base's requirements are subject to rapid change (e.g. websites). But when your program is something which has been well thought-out from the start, an
