   @urusan you have to define an ABI for that to work, and Rust completely refuses to do that.
   
   though there are interesting things to be said about safety features. mostly that since borrow checkers and type verification only works above the machine code level that it's going to be a problem with all of the post c languages.
   
   delphi didn't even support dynamic linking outside of whatever was all built together at the same time. their object model was a little more efficient than c++ but relied on a lot of internals of the compiler at the time :neocat_woozy:

     Rust libraries currently don't exist:

     Rust can make C libraries though, they're just unsafe and have other inconvenient issues.
