An extremely random fact I noticed when writing the companion article [1] to this (an OCaml experience report):
"Docker, Guix and NixOS (stable) all had their first releases
during 2013, making that a bumper year for packaging aficionados."
Now we get coding agent updates every week, but has there been a similar year since 2013 where multiple great projects all came out at the same time?
TBH I feel as if only docker belongs in that list. Guix and nix have users, sure, but not remotely like docker.
Yeah they are way better than docker for packaging
