It's not such a big pain in every language. And certainly not as hard to get working with acceptable performance in many languages.

Even if you have zero shared resources, zero mutexes, no communication whatsoever between threads, it's a huge pain in Python if you need +10-ish threads going. And many times the GIL is the bottleneck.
