- Windows may benefit from statically linking for the reasons highlighted above but it is not technically supported at this time. As such the default on Windows will remain dynamically linking the Swift runtime libraries.
This is unfortunate, windows could really use static linking. Could we stablish that the default should be static linking on windows too once the technical blockers are removed so that choice does not have to be hashed out again in Swift Evolution? Could you also attach a work item that tracks windows static linking status?
Edit: some background on this Swift binary with embedded runtime and standard library? - #2 by compnerd
