Nothing you've said contradicts my statement concerning compiling java at Google.

Go doesn't need to rely on dynamic loading because compiling a library is fast and statically linking the libraries is fast. The result is a monolithic executable true but it's still fast without dynamic loading. Go doesn't compile all the source that goes into a binary every time. Libraries get compiled into an archive and don't have to be compiled again unless they change. In that way it has the same benefit as jars for compilation speed.
