		jjnoakes on Nov 28, 2018 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Rust 2018 survey results Not really; there's a few substantial differences between shared objects with SONAMEs and link-time vs run-time file system names and LD_LIBRARY_PATH and /etc/ld.so.conf vs DLLs and searching PATH (starting with "."). I don't know much about modern Windows (SxS, etc) so things may have improved there, but last I looked (a while back admittedly) DLL hell and shared object issues were in different leagues.

Could you explain why you want to avoid that?
