I mainly write nodejs code, and now that it supports threads I've been hammering my CPU with all kinds of parallel tasks. One common thing I do is crunch a few thousand 16MB+ JSON files in parallel. Multiple cores saves quite a bit of time parsing huge JSON payloads. Sure, people may crap on me for using Javascript, whatever... It's what I prefer to use, and 64 cores would only help do all sorts of things in parallel, saving me time. There's all kinds of other things I do that utilize multiple cores. I also run a lot of VMs.
