Oh, Emacs as a Service, that was new. I like the oldschoolness of Emacs and I'm that guy myself, that's the emotional appeal, but I've heard of that concept in other areas, and now I've heard of it here as well, so it seems Emacs keeps up with the modern world :) I read about Docker in Linux Magazine some ~10 years ago and IIUC it is/was a streamlined way of moving modularized computer resources around in a predictable way. The way I use Emacs is rather the opposite, I have it right here and then use Tramp to move around, instead of dispatching Emacses all around but perhaps one can think of something to do with it (except for deleting it :)), for example perhaps one could have persistent IRC with ERC like this, right now I do the tmux/ssh detach/attach dance with irssi, there I just read the backlog, then I have ERC here to do actual... like carry out really important tasks. Can you do that with Docker? PS. Seems like gmane.emacs.erc.general is alive so I crosspost it there for their information, but let's follow up here since the thread started here.
