  Mainstream compiled languages (to native code) always supported static linking. Maybe you mean developers of scripting languages?

    C# never really had this if I recall (years ago), and Java had it but required monkeying around.

      I specifically singled them out by stating compilation to native code by default. Java and C# compile firstly to intermediate code. In any case, C# always had this in Singularity OS. Java always had this in comercial JVMs targeted to embedded market.
