Docker in Production: A retort

I find using nix as a package manager to be a better solution. Write a nixfile that have all the tools you need for a script, and you're fixed.

Docker is a slow, blunt tool for just containerizing dependencies IMO.

A slow, blunt, cross-platform tool. So while I agree, I don't think nix makes a good replacement for docker.

Cross-distribution, to be precise. You can't run amd64 image on RPi for instance.

Cross platform. Runs on Linux, Windows, and the Solaris port is being merged. There was a FreeBSD port but it was alas not upstreamed and needs some work.

No it does not change processor architectures for you.
