The difference between pointers/references and values is there in most languages in the same ilk as Go, maybe with the exception of Java. (C# has structs, which are value types.) It's a concept pretty much any developer in that area must know. As for concurrency, that topic is hard in pretty much any mainstream language. Maybe with the exception of Rust, but Rust isn't exactly a langauge that is not “hard to master”, and even Rust doesn't protect you from all forms of concurrency issues. Merely most of them, heh.
