  • It works, but the memory allocator implementation is way too slower compared to glibc. This especially becomes a performance bottleneck if application does a lot of heap allocation/deallocation.

    I think Musl is a better choice when you work on embedded, low-end devices, or statically linked/self-contained applications. For high performance workstation usage, I still prefer glibc.



  • Biggest difference is being able to execute INSTCMD commands, at least that was the main reason why I developed my own tool. Another less important differences are: older ARM support and since it’s written in Rust, it’s much more efficient in terms of resource usage. TBH, being that efficient only makes sense for very low-power devices.

    Besides that, I don’t think you can go wrong with either project.
