Feel like we’ve really missed an intermediate solution based around tree-shaken statically compiled code. A lot of the goals achieved by docker et al could be met with some kind of multi-elf file format that is basically a collection of statically linked executables combined with a way to read built-in configuration files. Maybe this already exists / works.


Not exactly what you're suggesting, but nix/guix addresses most of the problems around dynamic linking.
