Any language that has continuations, or at least thread-safe coroutines, can implement goroutines and channels. This includes scheme and lua. Also any language where the stack can be directly manipulated can implement those thread-safe coroutines, so that opens up C/C++ and perl and possibly some others.

Yes, all the languages you mention have the necessary language and runtime support required, probably a handful of others too (but by no means every language out there).

C and C++ are a bit different because you need to resort to assembly and know details about the target arch to do stack switching but that's acceptable.
