Go was designed for concurrency from the start and even has null pointers and lots of mutation, this makes the concurrency problem easier to solve because you have more control over state.
Meh, I'm not sure where I stand on this argument - I've recently been having an affair with Haskell and I prefer the Haskell Way. The way Haskell models I/O seems confusing at first but monads make the whole thing more manageable than any language I've ever used.
"More control over state" makes me feel funny inside; if you haven't actually used Haskell then you would probably see that pretty much every language right now is immature in comparison to Haskell when it comes to "control over state".
I also think mutability makes reasoning about large concurrent and/or parallel programs much more difficult.
