There is some chicken-and-egg effect: multicore processors are selling well if you have applications/languages and vice-versa. As far as I see, OpenMP has some potential as well as Erlang and others.

No, manufacturers have their own reasons to sell multi-cores, namely, that that's the only way they can sell them as being 'faster'. Intel is going to stop selling single-core processors not too long from now (eg).
