Have you looked into Elixir? It has Ruby like syntax, but uses an actor model for concurrency(it runs off of the Erlang VM). For handling concurrent tasks it tends to benchmark around Go's speed, but is much nicer to do things in. While it is admittedly immature, the ecosystem still has a decent amount of packages and the tooling isn't bad.

Being a Ruby to Go to Elixir convert myself, I can only second this. Elixir is a really great language.
