It's not my favourite language, because I don't program in it myself, but maybe you'd like Pony. It is an actor based language that is actually designed with efficiency and strong static guarantees in mind, with both of these goals informing each other.

Thanks. I've heard of it. I am afraid it'll have to wait for if I ever start disliking Elixir though. ;)
I am open to new concepts but once I get the concept and I like it, I am rarely looking for it implemented in several different languages.

Sure thing, I just meant it as a "instead of switching to Go, perhaps Pony as a back-up to Elixir is more of your thing".
Although Pony has new concepts Elixir doesn't have ;)
(Personally, I enjoy watching lecture videos of new languages just for the concepts they introduce me to, even when I never program in them - I can recommmend the CurryOn! youtube channel)

I fully stand behind what you said.
It's just that I want to stabilize my skills and sell myself in new ways recently; thus I am more focused on perfecting what I can do and becoming an expert and a pro.
Lectures introducing new concepts are something extremely valuable!

Right, working the depth before going broad again
