Three New Open Source Container Utilities

Probably because Smith (1 of the 3 tools) is written in Go and because Oracle wouldn't use Rust just for the sake of using Rust but because it was suited to the task at hand.

With that we have now Microsoft and Oracle adopting Rust based tools.

Even if Rust fails to gain wide adoption, their ideas already tainted (in a very positive way) future work on the design of Swift, Pony, D and C++ lifetime static analyzers.

Also on Go side, Microsoft being a Docker contributor regarding its support on Azure and VS Code tooling.

Which I find very positive for both communities as a language geek.
