Rich is of course totally right. There's not only the botched musl in Fuchsia, also Android Bionic, which is a libc written in C++. It's utterly unusable.
They had a better, older, safer libc implementation based on some HP code, but that is gone.
Some of Rich' points are moot though. Google already have their own libc's, in Android and Fuchsia with enhanced security measures. Similar to Huawei or Intel or Cisco. Better than Apple's freebsd libc.
Now reaching out to the community to outsource their development efforts under llvm is a good thing. There's obviously a need, musl, bsd and glibc cannot address. I'm sympathetic to that.
