is this à replacement for docker ?

Super interesting that they're using swift. Does this mean the project is only a wrapper for system libraries ? I can't imagine writing low-level system code in swift yet.

I was going to rant about how containerization does not just mean Linux namespaces but that is what this is.

This project is very similar to docker with a background daemon server that you control via a cli to launch Linux containers.

Because Linux containers need Linux namespaces, each container is run in a virtual machine with a Linux kernel.
