Rust also is opinionated that you don't want to write shared libraries or plugins. You can do both, but only if you drop down to memory unsafe C interfaces. The default is statically compile all applications into one program. Rust also really wants you do to use their build system and package manager, you can avoid both but everything will fight you.

Not having a solution is not the same as having an opinion.

If you have years to spend on plugging at ABI stabilisation, generics and proc macros in dynamic linking, and redistributable std, I’m sure the core devs would be happy for you to.

What do you mean everything will fight you? It sounds like you’re confusing rust and its ecosystem.


A language is in large part the ecosystem. If I can't use the expected ecosystem I can't search for answers.
