Dynamic linking works just fine. You don't want your every app to carry its bits of glibc inside, same for libx11, same for openssl. And it's definitely more polished than gems or jars or whatever other languages have; maybe only perl/cpan comes close. On other hand, C++, with its writhing ABIs and changing mangling rules is definitely not suited for dynamic linking. They could make their Class.forName() one day, but they were too arrogant and now it would never work okay. The solution is to restrict C++ usage.
