You may wish to explore Rust - http://www.rust-lang.org/. I can't speak to tooling but it has advanced typing and ease of distribution seems similar to Go.

Edit: mea culpa for my attempt at tongue-in-cheek humor, "I think that's called Rust - http://www.rust-lang.org/"

Rust's type system is definitely more robust than Go's, however it's also a different language and different philosophy. Go was created to be easy to read and easy to write, which is mirrored in the language (e.g. no generics). Rust is more complex, which might be a factor when deciding between Go and Rust. Plus it does not have the same adoption in the industry as Go.

No argument here. OP specifically mentioned advanced typing, tooling, and distribution. Rust covers at least two out of the three (can't speak to tooling) so I thought OP might like to explore it a bit.
