I think there is a shift to not use shared libraries at all. That is sort of the selling point of Go: "Everything in one binary. Plop it on a server and run it!".
Also more and more C++ is written like this. Libraries are distributed as header-only and just compiled in.

Definitely. Although I think the C++ header-only trend is more about not having to deal with C++'s various terrible build systems than dealing with dynamic linking.
