I recently evaluated these, and I'm dying to use something like this. I would really love to be able to do this with sandboxed apps written in arbitrary languages like Go, Haskell, Rust, or even C++. Ideally, I wouldn't be managing docker containers or VMs to get certain jobs done.

Unfortunately, it's limited to JavaScript, Python, and Java for now. Google Cloud Functions is similarly limited to JavaScript.

I know that these languages were chosen because they can be easily sandboxed, but it would be nice to support something more generic without having to create docker containers for everything.




Have you checked out https://github.com/iron-io/lambda. Their is a tool for docker container creation, and also AWS Lambda compatibility.
