*Edit: I was wrong. Just checked go 1.7 and it made a static binary; no dynamic links. Don't know when that changed.

Go does this. Zig links musl [4] by default but gives you the option to link glibc. I don't know about Rust.

Rust links glibc dynamically, and can use musl for some platforms. By default most (all?) of the musl targets are linked statically, but they should be able to use dynamic linking for it as well.
