> - iOS and Android: Power-efficient mobile systems, wakelocks, etc.

- Docker, Borg and Kubernetes: Container isolation, cluster orchestrators.

- Modern browser environments, with high degrees of isolation.

- Fast JavaScript runtimes and specialized JITs.

- WASM.

Would be interesting to know what Rob Pike thinks of all these.
