Re: [arch-dev-public] cleaning up unneeded static libraries?

Hi, Note that one of the two most popular Go compilers relies on static compilation and .a files: pacman -Ql go | grep \.a$ | wc -l 261 Go was created by some of the same people that created Plan9, so I assume the choice of using static compilation is inspired by that: http://www.plan9.bell-labs.com/wiki/plan9/why_static/ -- Sincerely, Alexander Rødseth xyproto / TU
