Nor does Docker protect against such obvious things as differences in versions of base images. Check out the Slack dialogue at the end of this:

Did you consider http://kubevirt.io/ ? It supposed to solve some of these hard limitations.

This can work, but stacking framework on top of the framework is what made the classic application servers undesirable and a horrible mess to begin with.

Observing similar patterns creeping in the Kubernetes culture and ecosystem does not inspire optimism in a side observer like myself.

Always use /

Windows can, surprisingly, handle it just fine.

I spent two hours scratching my head today because I had put

  "/path/to/thing/**"

in a nuspec file instead of

  "\path\to\thing\**"

The backslash was escaping the wildcard characters :(

On interactive uses, sure. But it's not clear cut, some code paths are lower level and bypass that.

Yea I guess most of my uses have been in things like python (e.g. open() and as.*). Got any examples of code paths that bypass that check and fail if you use /?

I think they are wrong and actually it's the opposite problem. Some applications and libraries that do their own path mangling on Windows will choke if you give them a /. The win32 file I/O API handles them correctly.

Never use windows, why should you for development and deployment?
