Does that mean one can not use GPL libraries in non-GPL programs? With other languages you can get around that by linking dinamically.

Actually that only applies to LGPL libraries -- pure GPL doesn't allow dynamic linking, even. (That's the most common interpretation anyway, and the reason why LGPL exists.)
