> Cons of static linking: Not listed is that ASLR either doesn't work at all or you get just one object (the PIE's) randomized. For a memory safe language this may not be a con at all. Also, when many executables can share common objects then there can be a reduction in I/O (reads) needed to load those the next time that one of those executables runs. In 2004 when the Solaris 10 (then a work in progress) unified process model delivered, and all system executables were dynamically linked, boot times went down by a lot.
