Ackchyually, not every Linux is a GNU Linux

Some examples:

Android
Alpine: Alpine Linux is built around musl libc and busybox
glaucus: A simple and lightweight Linux distribution based on musl libc and toybox
Chimera (alpha stage): Chimera uses a novel combination of core tools from FreeBSD, the LLVM toolchain, and the Musl C library

Aaaand Redox. Which is not Linux, but may some time in some Future replace it.

  I really think the existing maintainers need to strengthen this. A microkernel sounds like a very good concept, and new college graduates often dont know C or even C++ anymore. Me included, if I would learn a low level language I see no purpose for anything but Rust
  
  It’s unfortunate that Go has become so popular at the expense of modern system programming languages like Rust and Nim and Zig. Go is such a platypus: a compiled language that isn’t a proper system language.
