    His point of using IPv6 as proof of ossification is partially correct. The major problem with IPv6 is that it’s friggin unreadable to developers. 1::abdc:124 and a bunch of other things just make it difficult to read and parse.

    It’s probably obvious that I have not come in contact with it much, but why weren’t dots used instead of colons? IP addresses with double the length or with hexadecimal characters would’ve been OK. Unless there’s a technical reason not to do so…
