I just don't agree.
One of the best features I found in Golang was the statically linkage concept. There is just to much trouble with tools that come either in dozens of versions for different OS versions (Ubuntu, Debian, Mint, CentOS .... all Linux, but no Linux is the same Linux ..., it goes on: Ubuntu 12.04, 12.10, 14.x, ..., Debian Sid, Debian with and without systemd ...)
While statically linking might add some bloat, I don't see, that the real bloat-factor is because of this. The real bloat-factor for example comes from programs that rely to much on template libraries (yes, I mean C++), that just unroll everything into new statements and because many even simple tasks have a multitude of solutions in the code ... each aside each other. When hundreds of developers are developing on one application, many of them invent the wheel again ...
