This is a weird call-out because it's both completely incorrect and completely irrelevant to the larger point.

Rust absolutely supports binary libraries. The only way to use a rust library with the current rust compiler is to first compile it to a binary format and then link to it.

More so than C++ where header files (and thus generics via templates) are textual.

Cargo, the most common build system for rust, insists on compiling every library itself (with narrow exceptions - that include for instance the precompiled standard library that is used by just about everyone). That's just a design choice of cargo, not the language.

Rust does, Rust editions do not have a story for them.
