go has its own independent world (own toolchain, syscall wrappers,
runtime, calling convention, stack management etc) but it can interact
with libc through cgo

so the question might be if anyone has tried cgo with musl
and i guess nobody tried but it should work since cgo does
not make much assumptions about the c runtime

go is special in this respect, most other language runtime
implementations build on top of libc so the interaction
between c and said language is less trivial

(there are some caveats in go as well: it does not call
__libc_start_main on startup nor exit on exit so eg atexit
handlers wont get called)
