Meh. In my experience version churn with shared library dependencies is pretty minor. You have to worry about and work at it if you're doing stuff like deploying a single binary across a bunch of different linux distros. But the straightforward case of "build on your desktop and copy the file up to the host" is a routine thing you can expect to work.

It's nothing like that with Python or Node. The rule there is that you get something working locally and then spend a while reverse engineering a pip/venv recipe or manifest or whatever to make it work somewhere else. It's decidedly non-trivial.
