Do they use a third party support lib?Out of interest, how many packages are in the OpenBSD repository? How does it compare to Debian's, say? For me, Debian's repo contents is a yardstick of what Linux + Musl could be expected to work with.
If it's possible to support use cases with a third party lib, then I'm less concerned - provided that that lib also works with musl. Given the nature of ucontext, that may not be so. A musl native solution would be optimal for performance - and performance is a common reason for going down this route. It allows for far greater scale in certain server designs then either thread-per-connection or a thread-pool can do.On 13 February 2015 at 15:08, Anthony J.

It's worth mentioning that OpenBSD doesn't have ucontext, so given the
size of its package repository (which also contains Go), ucontext can't
be *that* widely used.
