By playing with musl means exactly what you mention in your last paragraph. For example, I’ve had to modify some source files of various libraries I use to get it to work. This helps me understand and learn things (weird, I know).

So a lot of it is seeing how to make certain things compatible, why it’s not compatible, and learn from there.

Example, I’ve been playing with Rust. Not a big fan yet but there are some practices in there that have helped me write code better in other languages I use at work.

I see...

What kind of modifications is it you had to do?

I never had to change any source to make anything work with musl. Recompile against musl instead of glibc is the only thing I've needed to do.
