The benefit of statically linking becomes moot when it doesn't reduce the number of dynamically linked libraries. That's the point.

- Dylan16807 3y agoThat's not why rust statically links the runtime. The main benefit is that they don't have to try to design and maintain a stable ABI for it. Which is not moot. More generally, you statically link something to avoid distribution hassles of various kinds, not because you care about the specific number.
