- acqq 14y agoI believe the OP is about "the library" as something giving some functionality that you add to your project in whatever way it can be added, not as something you must dynamically link. I also agree that there are use cases where static linking solves some problems.
- emillon 14y agoIt's also a security and maintenance nightmare. I totally respect the suckless people for trying this experiment, though.
- mhd 14y agoIf by "most prominently" you mean "only", sure. (Although there might be a slight overlap with the DJB fanboy crowd) It also doesn't really work out if you're not buying that philosophy as a whole.
