I didn't realize NuGet let you do remote path import. Nor that it was around in 2004. Nor that it's part of the C# language spec.
Goroutine + Channels are vastly different than the TPL. The comparison is so far off that I can't even come up with a clever analogy. There's more to concurrency than threads, and more to communication than locks.

Fare enough if you want to limit yourself to 2004 and compiler specific support.

If you take out your Go coloured glasses and read in what TPL does, you will see that what Goroutines and channels are indeed available as Tasks and Queues.
I don't know enough about Go, but Goroutines and Channels sound quite similar to F# agents and mailboxprocessor concepts, which as I understand is not quite the same as TPL. The former tackles concurrency, while the latter is about parallelism. C# 5 is getting there with async/await concepts I guess.
Here's a dining philosophers implementation in F# and Go (among other languages)
