I think it’s pretty fair to say that no language or runtime is that great on concurrency today. Coming up with a better way to program for many-core machines is probably the major area of research in language design today and there doesn’t appear to be a consensus on the best approach yet.
I think a case could be made that the best problem a genius-level programmer could devote themselves to right now is how to effectively program for many-core architectures.
