Even then, to get significant sharing every container would need to be deploying the same frameworks, libraries, and versions, which the single process, restricted environment moots all that anyway.

I'm confused -- the article is specifically about deploying JavaScript (or something that targets WebAssembly). From where I'm standing that seems to be a fairly homogeneous thing to be deploying (if you need to have many versions of JavaScript frameworks I don't see how that's not a problem with this solution either).

"Application containers" get a bad rap because Docker's model of a bunch of tar archives with separate root filesystems isn't actually the best way of getting density (nor is it what a lot of people really want).
