▲ 12 ▼ A comparison of Go and Scala
A comparison of Go and Scala by Nick Snyder - I have written Go at Google (and in my own time) and Scala at LinkedIn. Both are modern languages with first class concurrency features.
Go is an opinionated, minimal language that compiles to machine code.
Scala is a sophisticated, academic, functional, object-oriented, sandbox language that has a lot of features and runs on the JVM.

This is a fairly balanced overview - he uses both, but appreciates Go because it's a bit simpler. Scala sounds interesting and far more concise than Go, but I'd be worried about whether my future self would understand what I'd written 6 months ago.
