There was a time where this debate was bigger. It seems the world has shifted towards architectures and tooling that does not allow dynamic linking or makes it harder. This compromise makes it easier for the maintainers of the tools / languages, but does take away choice from the user / developer. But maybe that’s not important? What are your thoughts?

    Only if the library is completely shitty and breaks between minor versions.

    If the library is that bad, it’s a strong sign you should avoid it entirely since it can’t be relied on to do its job.
