Multicore & multithreaded architectures only prove even more problematic as you do context switching and have sync io. That's precisely why it's not just the language (C++); it's also moving to a highly async architecture with shared-nothing, non-blocking architecture to get the best advantage out of your multi-core, multi-cpu machines.
