No.

They may be larger because they are doing more work, depends on the program.

But no they don’t statically compile everything.

Static compilation and static linking are two separate things - however, Rust is both statically compiled and (usually) uses static linking of dependency libraries.

[paulddraper]

You’re right. I mean static linking.

And by default Rust does not. Needs glibc.
