Discussions center on comparing glibc and musl libc implementations, debating reasons to choose one over the other, compatibility issues, performance, and use cases like containers, servers, and static linking.

why not a different libc, such as musl?
the real question is... anyones using this as their libc on servers/desktops with no issues compared to glibc?
probably by using musl instead of glibc
Yes it can when you use musl instead of glibc
what are reasons to choose musl over glibc? (or glibc over musl?)
How about forgetting glibc alltogether and statically linking musl?
looks interesting. what's the difference between this with glibc/musl/etc.
why should it? glibc is better in almost any measure over musl
Unless you're on a distro like Alpine where musl is the system libc. Which is common in, e.g., containers.
Yes, but it's built around musl libc instead of glibc, which causes compatibility problems with some programs
