Unfortunately, he doesn't share where he is heading now. It does sound like he might find Go attractive (with its very small language and well-designed toolset).
In the comments on Reddit he doesn't find Clojure attractive (due to lack of static types), so dynamic langs are out the window for him.
As for Go, maybe, but assume he'd be more inclined to go with Kotlin and pull a James Strachan (former Scala advocate who created the Kotlin standard library; also creator of Groovy).
Or do something entirely different, god knows, he follows his own way.
If you go through the slides it seems most of the criticisms he has against Scala seem equally valid against Go (and for that matter most currently used languages). What it sounds like he wants is a fundamental paradigm shift in how programming languages are designed and used, not just a fancier ALGOL.
