Interesting this approach of building single binary containers.
I think that would be like packr [1] for Java, already discussed here [2]. I wonder if there is something like this for other languages/platforms like python/ruby/node.

Nix is a package management system which knows the full (yes completely full) transitive dependency tree of every package it installs, so you can have an absolutely minimal set of software in your container if you use nix-docker.
Because it's already doing version isolation in the package manager, you can also mount the software from the host into a shim container, which is more the "nix way" of doing things.
