I've been using Mutagen for years to offload running docker containers during local development from my Mac to a Linux machine and it works great. I'm glad to see more people talking about it.
This kind of research seems promising because it's not even a substitute, it claims to be the exact same product, only derived from a different source. A lot of people don't want weird plant based alternatives to animal products because of the taste or nutritional content.
Yeah, I have no idea what that person is talking about. I'm in the same situation as you; we can compile hundreds of thousands of lines of Java code in dozens of different jars in less time than it takes for one of our frontend javascript builds to run.
