Have to say, I wasn’t expecting this in my feed. It is a bit novel of a concept, but if you think about what it takes to build and ship a product, a lot of this makes sense, and modern languages are starting to follow the batteries included mentality (golang, rust).

There’s even an ironic naming ecosystem that just lends itself to this personification: flatpak and containers.

    My MarioKart 64 cartridge probably won’t inform me that Python2.7 was deprecated.

    It also won’t tell you if the OpenSSL library it uses has a vulnerability or not. I program mainly as a hobby and I still wonder how containers deal with that issue.
