It's the only thing really holding me back from going more into Rust.

At the same time, there is a sweet spot in popularity, when there is a very good quality/noise ratio in the library ecosystem, I'm not sure though, if rust's there at the moment.

Losing static compilation, Go-style, holds me back from Rust. The sheer number of platforms I can target with Go without doing anything special is amazing, whereas Rust forces me down the libc merry go round again.

A reliable recipe for 0 dependency Rust binaries so long as I stayed in the Rust ecosystem would be a good motivator to use it.

As long as you’re on Linux, it’s quite easy to use MUSL. Other platforms don’t offer something comparable, so we’re kinda stuck.
