Dynamic libraries are a dumpster fire with how they are implemented right now, and I'd really prefer everything to be statically linked. But ideally, I'd like to see exploration of a hybrid solution, where library code is tagged inside a binary, so if the OS detects that multiple applications are using the same version of a library, it's not duplicated in RAM. Such a design would also allow for libraries to be updated if absolutely necessary, either by runtime or some kind of package manager.
