Actually, you could go for Erlang programming. Erlang has a distributed system that aims to run on multiple hosts in parallel. http://erlang.org/doc/reference_manual/distributed.html http://erlang.org/doc/reference_manual/distributed.html Following, as you understand the concepts, you can dive into it‘s internals. Not by studying Erlangs compiler, but by trying to solve distributed computing by yourself. For this, at first you should learn about RPC. Then have a deeper look at sockets. Definitely, you should go with C to understand these techs. High level languages are abstracting RPC and sockets way to much.
