C++ has serious problems. Linus Torvalds agrees. Bryan Cantrill agrees. Many, many experienced systems programmers agree. Rust solves many of the problems with C++, as a systems programming language. That is the scope of my argument.

I am not really sure in the modern software development world what problem dynamic linking of stdlib solves, especially since so much of stdlib would be monomorphized and/or inlined. C++ with any level of templates is far more unfriendly to dynamic linking -- and again, that is the only language of comparison in scope for this article.
