Ruby on Rails and Hadoop in my experience. I like Perl because it is old.
wh-uws
Go, Rust, Haskell, Clojure, Scala

and R if you're doing stats

edit: Also I haven't played with it myself and havent heard much since the announcement but elixir looks cool.

http://elixir-lang.org/

its a ruby inspired language on the erlang vm

written by one of the core [Ruby on] Rails contributors

in my opinion hips are turning on concurrency related stuff (nodejs,erlang,go,etc...)
