I recently learn a bit of Go and Erlang. Erlang is surprisingly powerful considering how small and simple it is. In particular, I liked the convenience of atoms and pattern matching for writing simple protocols. I'm a little put off by the dynamic typing, it's convenient but very error prone. On the other hand, Go uses static typing with type inference which is a good compromise between conciseness and safety. And I also much prefer the Go syntax.
