Concurrency/Parallelism is the number one reason I move a project from Python to any other language. It's one the few areas where Python can't provide a gracious frontend or an acceptable runtime, but it is very impressive how much the community is willing to do to mitigate the challenges.

Process/Thread pools help to mitigate the brain damage in Python significantly, but I hear you. Python's concurrency story is the main reason I started looking at other languages for a better concurrency story and it's why I picked up Clojure as a second language.
