i'd somehow add that both static and dynamic linking is supported
properly and without bloat as musl is better at it than glibc
i like musl's clean code, clean header files (no gcc specific mess)
and simple build system (even for cross compilation)
again something that glibc is lacking
and there could be a hint that things like security, worst cases
(stack usage, algorithm complexity) and conformance are taken seriously
