Threads are very heavy compared to an optimised implementation of 'goroutines' or whatever. Certainly you can emulate them but it's not going to be an efficient way of implementing algorithms unless someone puts in the work to make it efficient under the hood. If convenience matters more than efficiency, then no problem.
