I'm missing the initial assumption. What is the connection between Docker and traction for Go and OCaml? People are using the latter in order to simply avoid containers?

Parts of Docker are implemented on them.

So anyone that wants to improve Docker or adapt it to their distribution of choice needs to eventually use them.

For example, Microsoft did several contributions in Go for making Docker run on Windows.

The TCP/IP stack used by Docker on OS X is taken from MirageOS, written in OCaml.
