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.

Standardising Python build information and tooling configuration with pyproject.toml. It's great to see Python moving away from executable package descriptions which had bootstrap issues! https://snarky.ca/what-the-heck-is-pyproject-toml/
