- steveklabnik 3y agoIt’s not about static linking, it’s about an ecosystem and build tool that specifies dependencies directly rather than ambiently.
- jvanderbot 3y agoVcpkg, Conan, and even CMake (kinda) do this. That's why I mentioned them. They're all trying to replicate pip, npm, cargo' success. The second sentence was not clearly a second unrelated thought, but it was.
- steveklabnik 3y agoFair! Sorry for misunderstanding you. Yeah I didn't realize it was unrelated.
- pjmlp 3y agoYeah, having starting to code back when dynamic linking was only available in systems like the Xerox Workstations, or Amiga libraries, it is ironic to keep seeing static linking as something extraordinary, never done before.
