In Glamorous Toolkit we have extensive infrastructure to interoperate with Rust. In fact, the main app is a Rust app that relies on several other Rust plugins. The Pharo Virtual Machine is used as a library :).
I enjoy your comparison with Docker. Indeed, the comparison to what you know is inevitable and it works quite well for incremental news. It works less well for new. But it's still on us, the authors, to try to find ways to communicate differently to appeal to a larger audience especially as our goal is to educate. I am also of the opinion that the most interesting path is to get someone to create outsized value that cannot be ignored. Our current focus is to find those initial someones :).
