Caddy – a modern web server (vs. Nginx)

Why is this seen as a benefit? If a severe security issue is found in libc, I have to recompile all software to take advantage of it? Who thought that was a good idea?

AFAIK, Go doesn't use libc.

Anyway, it is still a problem if you encounter a bug in any dependencie: you have to recompile every application using it.

Bare containers don't have libc, for instance.
