The Swift folks seem to manage just fine.


The amount of complexity that Swift has to deal with in order to make ABI stability work is exactly what I'm talking about. It's astronomical. Furthermore, it's only partial: there are some generics in which they couldn't afford the price of ABI stability, so they're marked inline and aren't ABI stable.


I like Aria's writing about this https://faultlore.com/blah/swift-abi/.
