The musl community is one of my favorite things on the internet. It's obvious that many members of it could be making a generous salary at any number of companies but they're just hanging out on IRC because they don't give a shit and they love software.

I don't get the sense that they think they are infallible, just that they are right far more often than not. You can't achieve the sort of spartan aesthetic that you see in the musl codebase by handling things like everyone else. The ability to distill things to their essence betrays a very high level of understanding.

As they say in the streets, the dope sells itself.
