isoc

isoc is yet another "standard" container format.

It brings together the best bits of Docker Image Specification 1.0 and App Container Specification 0.3.0+git into a comprehensive yet portable container archive format, at the cost of a "few" duplicated bytes.

Layout

An isoc image is a appc image embedded in a docker image, but also a docker image embedded in a appc image. Some people might describe it as an iso-contained container format.

Rust is the first language that has emerged in the past few years that solves enough of my problems that it would be worth not only learning & teaching an entirely new language, but also sacrificing the maturity of the language ecosystems I’ve become accustomed to.

I highly suggest you read the "Guide" provided by the language developers or this won't make much sense. These are just some of my thoughts and are intended to highlight particular things that stand out to me. I am just a practitioner and not an expert in any of these languages, so I have probably made some incorrect assumptions and out-of-date assertions. Bare with me.

Rust feels like the first time momentum has gained behind a true systems programming language that uses modern PL design techniques to prevent common errors when dealing with memory. It seems like others have previously either been too anemic to be worth adopting or too abstract to provide proper control. The type system and assignment semantics are designed specifically to preven
