    Absolutely! That’s called static linking, as in the library is included in the executable. Most Rust programs are compiled that way.

      Doesn’t that mean that you have a lot of duplicate libraries when using Rust programs, even ones with the same version? That seems very inefficient

        It’s true that boundaries get inflated as a result, but with today’s hard drives it’s not really a problem.
