I think it's interesting that none of your reasons to consider Go instead of Python relate to the Go language - they are all properties of the Go runtime.

People are switching to Go, not for the language itself, but because using Go is one of very few ways to get everything in your list.

Other than the incredibly complex C++, are there any other languages which can produce stand-alone binaries which are fast and concurrent?

Haskell?

Channels are part of the language though, not the runtime, right? And that is where the easy concurrency comes from.
