If this is true, then the entire thread branch here on HN is entirely wrong. What is going on??

A lazy attitude like "if we just used <n> language, all our problems would be fixed".

People don't RTFM, either on HN or when implementing "standards compliant" stuff like MUSL.

No error handling scheme can fix that problem. For instance, if a Rust API says I should return a Result<String, ENOSYS>, I can always write code like `if(ENOSYS) { return Ok("*") } instead of returning Err(ENOSYS).

Then my code would be compatible with MUSL.
