musl and glibc static links are their own Pandora’s box of pain and suffering. They don’t “just work” like you’d hope and dream.

This blows my mind, that in 2025 we still struggle with a simple task such as "read in a string, parse it, and query a cascade of resolvers to discover it's IP". I just can't fathom how that is a difficult problem, or why DNS still is notorious for causing so much pain and suffering. Compared to the advancements in hardware and graphics and so many other areas.
