Motto for my #musl/software ecosystems work: Move slow and fix things.
Motto for my #3dprinting work: Move fast without breaking things.
I have done The Thing.

I have ported #systemd to #musl. Properly. Passing all tests, properly. Booting my 2012 Ivy Bridge in 3.2 seconds, properly.
I'm aware of how unpopular this will be in some circles. But change does not happen without competition, and musl environments deserve more than what they have right now. systemd isn't a panacea, it isn't even that great, but it's here, it solves real issues people have, and it's now an option. Not a requirement, but an option.
It's big announcement day!

#musl is a lightweight libc.
musl is a lightweight and standards compliant #C standard library implementation. musl uses Linux calls very closely, making it faster than more general standard libraries as better kernel-specific optimizations are made. musl is highly compatible with standards as well as with glibc, allowing for it to serve as a drop in replacement in many cases.
