If it takes a container to get static linking for dynamic languages, that's fine by me.
I have one Python project where I'm just using Docker to produce a single, self-contained lump so I don't have to fuck around when installing. This would be a step forward for me.
And then I have a Python library and command-line tool [1] where an awful lot of the issues people report are library version nonsense. I tried to help the first few, but at this point I've decided it's just not my job to make up for the Python community's packaging issues and/or issues related to other open-source projects and OSes. I'd love to be able to produce the equivalent of a statically linked binary for those people.
