Considering that Go doesn't support shared libraries, it could make for really inefficient use of device RAM. Android's already a little heavy in that regard.

  I was under the impression that even with shared libraries each running process gets its own copy of the library in its memory space.

    Yes, they do, but it is shared, copy-on-write (read-only for .text), meaning that although each running process has it mapped into its memory space, there is only one copy in physical RAM.

      For some reason I thought that was a fallacy. I must now go and re-read Tanenbaum.
