Additionally, I can’t really understand why are dynamically linked libraries so popular and how on earth anyone who ever had a “.dll / .so not found” error thinks this is a good idea.
- You can load a DLL once and all programs can share it, saving memory. That mattered more back in the 90s
- You can update one file and have the patch apply to all programs
