Has generics, meta-programming and GC can be disabled (or tuned to run up to some max # of milliseconds).

So it is Go++ if you wish.

But I am not sure about its concurrency. Go does have channels which are nice abstractions for doing concurrency right.

Nim has channels too (although I think they need replacing). There is also spawn which is similar to Goroutines in some ways: http://nim-lang.org/0.11.0/manual.html#parallel-spawn-spawn-...
