Shared libraries are the work of the devil,
the one true sign that the apocalypse is
at hand.  Seriously, they're good for two
things, first for plug-in features, which
in plan 9 are often better handled by 9P
servers (obviously not always, for example
if there's an otherwise unachievable latency
or throughput requirement), and second for
giving third parties permission to break your
code after you've shipped it.  I am stunned
and amazed that anybody that pays salary to
customer service reps would ever consider
using shared libraries.
