Deno is built on V8, and V8 requires glibc. So it's down to Google supporting musl, and I don't think it's a money issue.


> V8 requires glibc

I don't _think_ this is true.

The aunt of your comment applies here. If anyone has gotten Deno to work without glibc, it means V8 can be made to work without glibc. That doesn't mean it's properly supported.


People have been building V8 on musl for a while now, but it's not supported by upstream. Last time I've looked into it a couple years ago, such builds were also not particularly stable.


I see. I love Deno and using a Debian or Ubuntu image is a small compromise.
