alt Hacker NewsIt's not a problem in the same way that things like snap or flatpak aren't problems. It works but it bloats things up considerably and makes you wonder where it all went so wrong. I mean, dozens of slightly incompatible runtimes inside a single process?
Those incompatible runtimes are separated by a linker that doesn't resolve all symbols globally, but rather scoped to the shared object they're expected from. They all coexist happily, and if you're so inclined you could resolve the same symbol from each, if you had reason to do so.
