erlang is also awesome for parallelization. It has its VM that connects to other VMs on different hosts with ease and securely, point is you can offload execution with ease.
I mostly have experience with Elixir, but I assume it is similar - it is also a pure beauty to work with binary data in it (utilizing pattern matching etc.). Generally it seems a good fit for Bitcoin related stuff (might be biased - BitQ&A is Elixir app)
