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?

    More control? If you’re speaking from the app developer’s perspective, dynamic linking very much gives you less control of what is actually executed in the end.

      The problem is that the application developer usually thinks they know everything about what they want from their dependencies, but they actually don’t.
