> Arguing that dynamic vs. static has better RAM utilization or not is pointless because nowadays we have plenty of RAM ... Using more RAM means having lower cache hit ratios. If dynamic linking means using less RAM, you win. But it's not a clear-cut thing -- it will depend a lot on the surrounding ecosystem. In any case, for C, the problem with static linking is about semantics. Until those are fixed I'll be resolutely against static linking for C, and for everything else, well, do whatever performs best.
