    Docker exists because most programming languages don’t give a shit about producing easily executable outputs.

    Nobody cares about your stupid python egg or ruby gem. How do I run it on my local?

      Docker is still useful even for apps that compile to a single executable, as the app may still depend on a particular environment setup, particular libraries being available, etc.
