One thing that has escaped discussion in the static vs. dynamic linking debate so far is **templates**. If you use template-heavy code all over your library, that pretty much rules out dynamic linking. If you avoid templates so you can dynamically link, you're avoiding IMHO the single most important feature that distinguishes D from other languages and are writing non-idiomatic D. You may as well use some other language that's better suited to doing things without templates. Therefore, I suspect D culture will be very biased toward static linking for that reason.
