Distributing binaries built against musl is counter-intuitive to me. When I run them on my machine, they're dynamically linked to glibc! The main advantage AIUI is that you don't depend on new glibc features, so you get a more portable executable.

There's definitely something about shipping a binary that feels more like 'real' software. I find it's easier to ship a website but there's much more historical precedent in delivering an executable.

Linux 5.18 may drop support for the a.out executable format! https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=Linux-Remove-a.out
