> One big argument for Docker is no dependencies, but Go and C# already can create fat native binaries that have no dependency on anything else (no .net framework or even VM, all native, same thing in Go). I believe Rust too offers the same thing. There is no excuse with all those different languages all supporting that.

Using Nix, you can build a self-contained deployment for just about any language/rutime you can imagine, and the target machine doesn't need to run Nix.

Would one run the same binary on all of, say, Debian, Fedora, FreeBSD?

Why is that important? Different binaries for each platform is fine.
