Well seems I was wrong about linking C libraries from rust.

The problem of increased RAM requirements and constant rebuilds are still very real, if only slightly less big because of dynamically linking C.

That would have been a good post if you'd stopped at the first paragraph.

Your second paragraph is either a meaningless observation on the difference between static and dynamic linking or also incorrect. Not sure what your intent was.
