> How could a safe dynamic linking API ever work?

Fil-C solves it. I think Swift solves it, too.

So it's solvable.

No fundamental reason, that I know of, why Rust or any other safe language can't also have some kind of story here.

No. I'm describing a problem worth solving.

Also, I think a major chasm for Rust to cross is how defensive the community gets. It's important to talk about problems so that the problems can be solved. That's how stuff gets better.
