pack any set langs to any platform

Was wondering if there was a way to pack any project written in any set of languages to any platform.

That's practically impossible, due to the many differences between each programming language. You can have something that supports say, a couple dozen or more, but if you truly mean _any_ language, then no, that is not currently possible with only one solution.

Are you looking for the holy grail of software deployment? I'm afraid there will always be some constraints, "any" is just a too broad term. Anyway do you mean programming languages or human languages (like localization)? Please try to narrow down your question as this is impossible to answer.

Hey AW4, tackling the language-platform compatibility puzzle can be a real brain teaser, but don't worry, we've all been there. In my experience, Docker is the unsung hero for this kind of situation. It lets you pack up your project, along with all its dependencies, into a neat container that can run anywhere – Windows, Linux, Mac, you name it. No need to stress about different languages or platforms throwing a spanner in the works. For example, this is what I did in working on this project: https://www.packagingdive.com/press-release/20240108-andersen-helps-build-a-cutting-edge-smart-city-mobility-platform/ Just dockerize your project, and you'll save yourself from a world of headache. I've used it for a bunch of projects, and it's like a universal translator for code. Plus, it keeps things clean and isolated. Just make sure to write a good Dockerfile, and you'll be golden.
