Potholes to avoid when migrating to IPv6

Obviously the point of the article is to not manually parse ip addresses.

Well actually, python can do that just as well as all the other languages.

    >>> import ipaddress
    >>> ipaddress.ip_address('2001:db8::')
    IPv6Address('2001:db8::')

Actually, in Java you can just use InetAddress.getByName.

Why don't you rewrite that in rust?

    use std::net::{IpAddr, Ipv4Addr, Ipv6Addr};
    let localhost_v6 = IpAddr::V6(Ipv6Addr::new(0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1));
    assert_eq!("::1".parse(), Ok(localhost_v6));
