.NET isn't a language.

The languages you list really suck compared to Go. They are ridiculously verbose. Goroutines in particular are really quite nice.

It is easier to name the eco-system than all the languages with available compilers targeting .NET.

Except they embrace the last 30 years of language research.

Goroutines are nothing new. Modula-2 already had them.

Gosh this reply is ridiculous.

We're talking about languages and .net isn't a language. The differences between visual basic and f# are vast.

Are you saying the last 30 years of language research dictate that languages should be more verbose?

Comparing go-routines to modula-2 is disingenuous at best. Multiprogramming is nothing like multithreading.
