Sort of. Go binaries are statically linked by default which is a must in situations where you are e.g. unsure about what libs are available in the current environment. You have to go through a lot of hoops to make sure your C executable is really fully statically linked.

Actually Go binaries aren't statically linked by default anymore, and there are several hoops you have to jump through to make them statically linked.

Note though that Go packages will be statically linked into your binary by default.
