If you're more keen on GPL-compatible, Clojure-like language with STM/CSP (upcoming) than being currently able to use it in production take a look at Pixie:
https://github.com/pixie-lang/pixie It's syntax is heavily inspired by Clojure, STM is coming, and it's fast - no JVM. The state is "pre-alpha" though.
