The first time I hit bugs trying to run a JRE on Alpine because of musl, I threw it away and never looked back. I understand there are musl builds of Java these days but I don't care, the whole thing is just an unnecessary headache.
- Brian_K_White 3y agoNot denying there is a headache, but it's at least 50% arguable to conclude that the source of the headache is glibc rather than musl or any other libc. The path of least resistance is merely the path of least resistance, not necessarily the best, especially in the long term. At one point glibc was the weird incompatible limited headache, and the only reason you can enjoy it today instead of paying $1200 to SCO or someone, is because other people did not take the path of least resistance.
