@unix_discussions Why they compared tge size of the executable file, with the size of #flatpak package? Shouldnt we at least try to include for standard #linux #package all #dependencies it requires or at lest compare #staticlinking with their flatpak counterparts to get rough estimate of flatpak metadata size overhead, and dependency duplication from runtime and separately whatever was put alongside the contenerized application. Also, it would be cool to compare it across many #linuxdistribution in case there are some that due to #dynamiclinking have to bundle multiple versions of given library

Periodic reminder that static libraries on literally every major platform is just 1970's era 'ar' archives of object files and are not a real module system.

This post brought to you by stupid duplicate symbols linker errors even though I'm using `--exclude-libs` and `-hidden-lx` and every linker flag I can think of. Because it's all just terrible.

Can we just make the WASM Component Model the default for everything already
