 Replying to [comment:43 barracuda156]:

 > Switching to `.so` on macOS is wild LOL

 Not really. The linker won't find `libfoo.so` from `-lfoo` of course, but
 it will accept the file just the same (the actual libraries in frameworks
 don't even have an extension at all).

 But there's no standard for the extension of shared modules/plugins and as
 I said before, those can be created in a way that you can't use them as
 shared libraries even if they otherwise behave the same way.
