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.
That was a major revelation when I saw Multics. Virtual memory supported shared memory, which supported shared binaries, which supported huge economies in code space and memory usage. E.g. permitted huge, comprehensive, error-handling routines that never occupied memory until they were immediately needed to handle errors.
