A bit of opinionated question, say I'm publishing a library (KLIB) wrapping a native library like curl, glfw, ssh, etc. Should I be using the static or dynamic variant of the library? Can and should both be done in a single KLIB?

[olonho]

usually, static libs still has deps on their own, so unless you're ready to pack the whole world into the .klib, better use dynamic libs shipped with the system

[napperley]

It is common in some OS's like Linux for applications to be dynamically linked to libs for deployment (standard practise in Debian, Ubuntu and Linux Mint).

But Windows? That's my concern.
