The way you describe your experience with Scala makes me think you only had a very superficial look at it.
At it's core Scala is very simple & the syntax is very regular, far more than Go or Java and a lot less complex than C++. It's the most expressive typed language on the JVM, so if you like to think in types & you're on the JVM it's your best option.
Clojure is untyped, I hear many people praising it but I don't know any big project done in Clojure. So if you're doing short-lived projects I'm sure it can shine but for software that will be around for more than 5 years I would stay away from it. Btw, if misused, just like Scala, Clojure code can be extremely cryptic.
Go likes it's superficial simplicity, syntactic irregularity & stubbornly refuses to accept that PL design has evolved since the 80-90ies, but I'm sure it's appealing to people who are used to languages from that era.
