Thanks, this is good information. I'm still curious about size, as it removes attack surface for security. The glibc to musl conversion is obviously not the direct change to occur in BSD, since BSD has its own libc, but an even smaller alternative would be interesting. My understanding is that OpenBSD is about 100x the size of Alpine right now. In modern times, a Rust-based option is also intriguing if the goal is security as well, though things like Redox are _extremely_ heavy for these considerations.
