Re:Static Linking Considered Harmful (2004)

Although I get the point of dynamic linking (security, size...), I still prefer CLI to be written in a language that enable you to easilly build a static binary such as Go, Rust. IMO, the benefit of static binary is that I can literally using wget, mv, scp or other tools to move them to other machine and expect them to just work. To install a binary (not provided by my distro) locally, I only need to copy the result binary into my `~/.local/bin` and it simply works.
