One Line Summary

Building a new Linux system on top of clang, libc++ and musl

Abstract

Traditionally, building a Linux system had to start with gcc, libstdc++ and glibc – bootstrapping was a bit of a pain with having to go through 3 stages of building the compiler.

The LLVM toolchain and a few other projects make it possible to rethink those choices — and potentially get to a better system faster.

What can a modern Linux system look like if it throws away concerns about binary compatibility with old systems, and what do we have to fix to get there?
