  Now THAT is awesome.

  Sounds like a given.
  I find musl-libc.org redirecting to musl.libc.org more elegant
than the other way around, but YMMV.

  So tempting. What can we do to tempt you even more ?

  That sounds good too, but don't you think people will question the
objectivity of libc.org comparisons if the domain belongs to musl
authors ? The current comparison on musl-libc.org is *expected* to
be biased, even if it is not.
  Sigh. Managing appearances is hard.

  I would love all of those. I might even contribute if I get some
free time by way of divine intervention.

  e-mail addresses, of course !
  Please can I have ska@libc.org, please please pretty please ?
I'll draw you a kitty. Or contribute something if I can find something
I'm more knowledgeable about than you guys.
