@blackle@dev.glitch.social according to random stuff i read while poking around rust statically links every library it needs and if it doesn't it requires the rust runtime to be installed??
basically the answer is just "on a scale of 1 to 10: yes"
@boots @blackle from some quick searching:
"If you want to use dynamic linking, you can invoke rustc with `-C prefer-dynamic` arguments, this will link the program dynamically, and it will be much smaller (8 KB in my case):" -- https://mail.mozilla.org/pipermail/rust-dev/2014-July/010731.html
