It's very different. If I want to write a library to do
realtime granular synthesis I don't have to extend the
shared library mechanism first, or write a new dynamic
linker.
You don't need to extend the extension mechanism first (I don't even
know what this means...) or write a new host either.
Shared library, you get a thing by filename, it has code in it.
Extension, you get a thing by URI, it has code in it.
It is not "very different" at all.
