I want a simple language that compiles to native code, has easy concurrency support, is garbage collected, allows me to distinguish between values and references, and has a compiler/standard library that is useable for real tasks. What other language betters fill that?

That depends. I don't have a good answer because I don't personally think Go qualifies. Rhetorically: is that really all you want out of it? Does Go really do it well enough in your opinion? The thing about compiling to native code is interesting. Why is that important? And are you excluding VM languages which nevertheless produce system binaries in that?
