In a language conceived for this kind of work it's not as easy as you'd like. In most languages you're going to write nonsense which has no coherent meaning whatsoever. Experiments show that humans can't successfully understand non-trivial programs unless they exhibit Sequential Consistency - that is, they can be understood as if (which is not reality) all the things which happen do happen in some particular order. This is not the reality of how the machine works, for subtle reasons, but without it merely human programmers are like "Eh, no idea, I guess everything is computer?". It's really easy to write concurrent programs which do not satisfy this requirement in most of these languages, you just can't debug them or reason about what they do - a disaster.
As I understand it Python without the GIL will enable more programs that lose SC.
