actually, in this case it totally makes sense. the issue is that alpine uses musl, and many things only compile for glibc. if you&#x27;re writing in any of those languages, chances are you&#x27;re going to install a library that requires some c compilation (yaml parsing, database libraries, numeric processing, etc) and this becomes an issue<p>*edit: which is what you were saying all along, and this didn&#x27;t sound enough like &quot;yes I agree&quot;
