Wow, that's so cool! :)
I noticed at [11:10 in Episode 
2.1](https://youtu.be/V7BNGMX7U9I?t=670): you say 'you can decide 
if you want to link statically', but this might be misleading. 
The option you're referring to actually enables static 
*bindings*. It's a common misconception, but static *bindings* ≠ 
static *linking*:
- **Dynamic bindings**: only support dynamic *linking* (since the 
library is loaded by your code)
- **Static bindings**: can be either statically *linked* **or** 
dynamically *linked*. If they're dynamically linked, then the 
compiler generates its own library loading code and runs it 
before your code is ever called into.

You can read more about static bindings 
[here](https://git.sleeping.town/BindBC/bindbc-sdl#static-bindings) in BindBC-SDL's readme.
