A sufficiently modern Unix derived system, sure ;) I have quite commonly seen shared libraries not done on embedded systems however, regardless of heritage.

  And I don't consider embedded systems to be traditional. Otherwise, we wouldn't have to qualify it with "embedded."

    They are certainly a traditional stronghold of straight up C.

      The embedded systems I work on use shared libraries, C++, shell scripts, and even Adobe Flash. Dynamic linking has been around since the 1960s, and is the model that has been used by almost all currently active developers for their entire careers. Arguments based around specialized microcontrollers, hard real-time systems, life-or-death control systems, etc. are off in the woods. Few developers use such systems in the real world, and their code is statistically irrelevant to comparisons between e.g. Python and C.

        "The embedded systems I work on use shared libraries, C++, shell scripts, and even Adobe Flash." Consider yourself lucky...
