I think I see your point. Thing is, a C program can be built and executed without that cargo dependency pyramid sandwiched into a gigantic runtime polyp. The whole operating system is your environment, and yes - if ‘man ldconfig’ is not your friend, then maybe pkg-config is, or, worse to worst, link against project-local structure, where you can indeed build the bejesus out of your imagination and ship it. That’s ok. It’s linux, after all. That’s what we do for embedded systems, anyway. I haven’t seen much success for rust in this department, although people are clearly trying to make it work. It just keeps coming out fat and ugly. A few more decades of hard push, call me a maybe. Do you know what riscv version of xv6 rev3 compiles to in terms of object size? I will not spoil it for you, but it compiles to total shreds.
