That's kind of a disingenuous take. Rust supports producing dynamically loadable libraries. It doesn't support dynamically linking arbitrary dependencies, which is what most people would understand from "Rust supports dynamic linking" in a discussion about static linking.
- kibwen 2y ago> It doesn't support dynamically linking arbitrary dependencies I don't understand why one would think this. You make it sound as though Rust only supports dynamic linking for glibc, but that's certainly not true.
- glandium 2y agoThe keyword is "arbitrary". Say you have dependencies on reqwest and clap, want to dynamically link against them? Not gonna happen. That's what people talk about most of the time for static vs. dynamic linking, at least in my circles.
