@ -38,12 +38,12 @@ Static linking refers to the process of creating output that contain all
required libraries and so don't need libraries installed on every system where
you want to use your compiled project. Pure-Rust dependencies are statically
linked by default so you can use created binaries and libraries without
installing the Rust everywhere. By contrast, native libraries
