Looking at what they say: Better standards compliance, different
license, better for static linking, full UTF-8 support, strong
fail-safe guarantees.

I am taking that at face value as I haven't really done my own
comparison of glibc/uclibc/musl. I've been following the news of musl
development for a while though and I like the direction they're
heading in.

Thanks,
