>Go is quite unique in that it produces very independent binaries. This might make software written in it quite future-proof.

What do you mean by "it produces very independent binaries."? Do you mean that Go implements system calls itself, instead using corresponding wrappers from the OS's underlying C library?

I read something like that recently, but haven't looked into the point yet.

"Very independent" doesn't mean totally independent. In particular Go doesn't do shared libraries.

Cool, thanks.
