@phoe Virtual machines, container, interpreters. The number of layers is growing incontrollably (with some exceptions, see unikernels).

One day nearly no one will really know how many layers are there and how they work. And then we'll fall in a sort of digital dark age of superstition and cargo cults. This could be a neat concept for a cyberpunk dystopic novel.
