I'm a big fan of Go's static binaries, but I'm sorry, the last point doesn't make much sense to me. The dependency graph is going to be the same whether or not you include everything in your binary. It just so happens that the Go ecosystem hasn't adopted node's cancerous everything-is-a-dependecy pattern (at least yet). If it did, the dependency graph would be equally horrendous; the only difference is that the dependencies are included in the binary.
