In terms of raw capability, Haskell is the concurrency winner. Not only does it have basically every paradigm, they even all work together reasonably well. (Not perfectly, but reasonably well.) But I don't think you can argue Haskell is mainstream. It continues to be on a fairly slow growth trajectory from what I see, but it's not in any danger of cracking into the top tier language set anytime soon. Go just might in another 5 years.
True, but I think that the "mainstream-ness" of Go (debatable as it is) was of secondary importance to the article, which didn't even mention that there are other languages out there which solve the concurrency problem in other/better ways. Whether or not a language is mainstream is more or less a matter of opinion, in any case. Certainly Haskell, Rust or Erlang (to name a few) are probably less widely used than Go, but none of them are obscure, so to not mention them at all suggests that the author is either being disingenuous, is not aware of those languages' capabilities, or simply forgot.
