I could be off-base here, but it seems to me the better analogy would be some sort of "Go-Linux" that's like a Docker linux OS written entirely in Go.

- macksd 6y agoI wasn't making an analogy - I literally use Alpine Linux when I need some common *nix tools but I want something lighter-weight than the Docker images from more mainstream distros. musl libc and glibc aren't 2 fundamentally different things - the former is just a more permissive license and a lighterweight implementation.
