> What if it also required understanding the internal architecture of the operating system’s dynamic linker to diagnose runtime problems? I hear you responding, “That’d be insane!”

Uh, I hate to be glib but has the author ever built something of consequence?

At least once a week I see some team running into this stuff, if you don't understand it then you're stuck twiddling your thumbs as soon as you hit any problem with your classloader or linker.

Analogy aside service connections seem a heck of a lot more complicated than virtual address spaces. I just really have a hard time buying that you are going to make all of the leaky parts of that abstraction disappear.



Exactly, expanding on this analogy monolith would be statically linked binary... just like go does it.
