golang seems to manage being 100% statically linked (unless you go out of your way, by using plugins). It just forgoes the stuff that the article mentions glibc doing dynamic linking for, and does it the simple and direct way.

What do you use golang for? If your answer is only web-dev and if you don't touch anything GUI, system libraries, PAM or VPNs, you simply haven't compiled something complex enough.
