If only it had dynamic linking... I know, I know, efficient, separate compilation and parametric polymorphism are hard to get together, but a systems language should not follow the same compilation model as, e.g., Haskell.

You can use dynamic linking, it's just restricted to the C ABI. But this has its benefits in that if your dylibs are written properly, they'll be usable from C and C-compatible languages as well. "Wrapping" code can be statically linked and provide higher-level features.
