Why can't D create static binaries? I've never heard that before.

I have never heard of that before. I create and link static libraries all the time. My exes are usually a drop in without any dependencies whatsoever.

Sorry -- it can, but in much the same way GCC does. You need to manage all your deps. With go it just happens, a huge time saver.

I'm pretty sure Dub will happily manage your D deps and compile them statically.

But I appreciate how that's not necessary and I can use only system-installed libs with Meson and pkg-config :P
