Had the same issue, same two languages.
Google Go still feels far from prime time, so I settled on Scala.
Got David Pollak's "Beginning Scala" book, Googled a lot and after several days of coding it clicked. Well worth the effort!
The Web frameworks are not yet there (Lift is complex, Play is slow), but I learnt a lot.
I still keep my eye on Go, code most of the time C++/C++0x, some projects in Scala, and hope one day I can have all the benefits in one place.
