I love Ruby and the Parallel gem (https://github.com/grosser/parallel) makes certain stuff easier, but I feel like every month or so I spend hours just trying to figure out the proper way on how to parallelize

It has semantics very similar to Ruby or Python, but it has strong built-in language-level support for parallel computing: http://docs.julialang.org/en/latest/manual/parallel-computin...
