You could try Ada.
Ada is a multi-paradigm language (i.e. procedural or OO) that has threads ("tasks") built it. The experiences of Ada83 tasking wasn't brilliant - the OS/hardward available at the time just weren't up to the job and hopelessly expensive. This left a nasty taste for some which in turn led to FUD about the language as a whole - you wouldn't believe the rubbish I've heard over the years about what Ada is or is supposed to do!
Ada95 (and in particular the $0, Open Source GNAT compiler) changed that, making an affordable-for-the-masses,, fast Ada environment available on GNU/Linux and Windows platforms. It now comes with an Eclipse plug-in too.
Now, Ada2005 has arrived which even extends OO into the domain of active objects (i.e. extensible, polymorphic tasks).
