I quite like shared libraries. What I don’t like is actually sharing them.

I firmly believe that all applications should ship their dependencies. Launching an application should never be more complication than “unzip and double-click executable”.

Docker only exists because run-time environments are too complicated, convoluted, and mutually incompatible. It’s insane.
