I thought I'll make this thread for all of you out there who have questions but are afraid to ask them. This is your chance!

I'll try my best to answer any questions here, but I hope others in the community will contribute too!

Absolutely! That's called static linking, as in the library is included in the executable. Most Rust programs are compiled that way.

Yea, That's why I am learning Rust but I didn't know it called Static Linking I think it just how Rust works LMAO. And Thanks again

No problem. Good luck with your rust journey, it's imo the best programming language.

Doesn't that mean that you have a lot of duplicate libraries when using Rust programs, even ones with the same version? That seems very inefficient

It's true that boundaries get inflated as a result, but with today's hard drives it's not really a problem.
