This is a bit misleading. Rust offers shared libraries, including the
option to offer a C ABI.

The problem are generics which, like C++ templates, cannot be swapped
at runtime. Distributions have had to deal with the STL, Boost, etc.
all these years too.

In fact, Rust improves things a bit: there are no headers that need to
be parsed from scratch every time.

Why? I fail to see what is the issue rebuilding (or relinking) all
packages except distributions lacking enough compute resources.

Cheers,
Miguel
