We're in an age where everybody is wasting gigabytes of memory through virtualization, and nobody cares. Would those few megabytes of memory saved by dynamically linking against libgo really be worth it? For past 5 years or so, it seems people value ease of deployment much more than efficiency.

You have a point, but on mobile and embedded devices, nobody is "wasting gigabytes of memory through virtualization" and not caring.

It doesn't cost gigabytes of RAM, but Android applications do run on a Java virtual machine.

But I'm being massively pedantic.

yes. +1

The people who value their memory usage just aren't using that kind of system, so there's some selection bias there.
