Ruby and Erlang/Elixir have more in common than one might think, especially with frameworks such as Phoenix gaining more popularity.
I don't really see Inko as a direct competitor to Go, as Go's compiled nature makes it quite different in use cases. Maybe when we have a JIT and an easy way of distributing the VM + code, Inko could be a competitor to Go.

Ignoring that Inko is still a very new language, there are already a couple of benefits compared to Ruby such as: no need to pause everything during garbage collection, easier to write concurrent programs, preemptive multitasking (using more than one OS thread under the hoods, unlike both Ruby and Node), more straightforward syntax (at least I think so), etc.
