Look into languages which are intended to utilise multi-core (and other
highly parallel) architectures.  Here are a few languages you might want
to consider:

 + Parasail (not popular yet, but definitely future-proofed, when it
   comes to parallelism).

 + Haskell (already quite popular, should work well even on highly
   parallel architectures).

 + Ada (parallel processing built in, but it is the programmer who has
   to do the job of splitting up the program in tasks which can run in
   parallel with each other).

Greetings,

Jacob
