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?

    Static linking can make sense if you’re developing portable code for a wide variety of OSs

    I doubt any other OS supports linux syscalls
