giving me a static binary i don't need to worry about is the only thing i, an amateur who doesn't write programs, like about Go
Static binaries are great for toy projects or for companies like Google who recompile and redeploy everything constantly. For everyone else, they are a huge security liability as dependencies get linked in and never updated. Patching a dependency means updating *all* dependents.
you also can't statically link the entire world. eventually you must be dynamically linking, in a sense, to the OS kernel's syscall interface now, on Linux you have Linus who promises to keep that extremely stable, so it works however… Windows and macOS are not Linux.
a reasonable individual would conclude, okay, we'll make an exception to dynamically linking just for these OSes, and link to the OS's userland dynamic library that handles kernel stuff and which does have a stable interface however that reasonable individual is not the Go devs
I'd generally take "linked in and never updated" over dynamically linked against libraries that aren't on the user's system or with versions of libraries that haven't been tested. Has statically linking with the *option* to dynamically link at runtime been tried yet?
No, Go always statically links all Go code as far as I know.
Static compilation is why, for example, trying to build resilient DNS in a datacenter is a royal pain in the ass. There can be dozens of different failure modes on just one host. Use the host's resolver, people! No, not the systemd one...
