Even desktop libraries are moving towards IPC architectures so not even they require dynamic linking. E.g you don't dynlink a library for the trashcan subsystem, you communicate with some service on the dbus thingy. This makes hot updates possible which you don't get with dynamic linking.


Good point. I find that a way more elegant solution than dynamic linking.
