I was really excited about the idea of a modern statically typed language with green threads ala Erlang / BEAM. I lost interest when Rust moved away from that direction and became focused on zero-cost abstractions instead.

It certainly was a big shift, a lot of people both had your opinion and had the opposite, for sure.

Do you think Go fulfills that for you today or do you think there's still space for a new language here?

I’m not OP, but IMO go cannot be called a “modern language”. The go ideology seems to be that such basic “modern” ideas as sum types are just pointless intellectual games, akin to Haskell type astronaut behavior, or that they’re too advanced for most programmers to understand.
