> Sadly, Ruby is not the language for the multi-core world

MRI isn't the implementation for the multi-core world, but MRI isn't the only Ruby implementation; on language features, JRuby, particularly, isn't particularly far behind (the current version runs Ruby 2.3 code; I wouldn't expect 2.4 support to be that far behind), and fully supports thread-based parallelism.
