Yes, that's kind of what I meant by sneaking in through the backdoor. An article supposedly about Java development focuses on all the non-JVM dependencies. You don't need to build things in this way. Is this how everyone works these days? It surprised me that nobody else was commenting on this (edit: the comment from pjmlp is basically saying what I was thinking)
Before people thought Java would save everyone from ever having to think about native dependencies. Turned out not so much, although it works "OK" for desktop these days.
Now everyone thinks Docker is going to save everyone from having to think about native dependencies. In a few years everyone will realize that Docker only works like that when deploying from linux to linux on the same CPU architecture.
