As someone naive to Red myself, I just read through the 5 different compile methods mentioned in the parent comment, and while that's quite a bit more than other languages offer, it seems to offer an interesting set of tradeoffs that balance the needs of different real-world scenarios against the language design.
It sounds like you're describing an edge case. To better understand it, what's the actual context around your requirement of static builds?
To be clear about my question, I am genuinely curious - perhaps there are workarounds that could be used, or optimizations that could be considered in the long term.
However (and critically), there is not nearly enough semantic detail in your arguments as currently presented for developers to potentially extract actionable work items from. This is why everyone else is annoyed.
