Shared libraries significantly reduce the size of programs. Rust binaries are probably quite a bit larger than C binaries.
Go has the same design flaw. Giant static binaries.
Amazing how many new programing languages don't want to pay attention to history and the security lessons already learned.
I agree with you on this, but also seeing how some libraries get developed/updated (I am looking you, npm), I can see why some programmers prefer static libraries. Dhaval
