I've been liking Go. Reminds me of Python without the risk of filling my Linux install with dependencies.

So if there's a non-breaking security update of a dependency, all go apps depending on it need to be recompiled and relinked?

There's no way to link dynamically?

Rust does this too. In practice you just bump the lock file in rust and rebuild. It can be a bit rebuild heavy, but it's not too bad with a proper cache.
