Functional programming to the rescue. FP is getting more heat because of the failure of moore's law too.Immutable by design => ready for parallelism. Even functional js libs like Immutable Js, Ramda etc. are more popular already.

Another direction to consider is GPU programming, came across Spiral language (github.com/mrakgr/The-Spiral-Language) the other day, aimed at programming for GPUs to leverage parallelism by making functions inline (mimicking church lambas).
