It gets a little fuzzy. Go and C are only zero dependency once you have their platforms installed (the OS). The JRE is only a little on top of that, ships with some systems out of the box, and is generally ubiquitous enough that you can probably rely on it being present it over a particular OS being present.

Ita not really zero cost, but neither is an app that only has binaries for an OS you don't run.
