From a technical standpoint, I'd say Elixir.
Advantages over Go:
1. Reliability (OTP, supervisor, pre-emptive scheduling)
2. Clean code (error handling, higher order functions)
3. Far superior package management
Advantages over Erlang:
1. Extensible (Macros)
2. Familiar syntax for Rails developers
That being said, Go definitely has the advantage when it comes to marketing/hype (Google, Unix daddy etc), which as you can judge by the success of Node and Mongo, sadly trumps technical merit even in the tech community.
