- brettcannon 10y agoActually Unladen Swallow's aim was simply to be fast. :) They attempted to do that through using LLVM's JIT but ran into a lot of bugs in LLVM and had to spend their time fixing rather than on Python itself. There was no specific work to deal with the GIL.
- AlphaSite 10y agoIirc Zipy doesn't use a GIL.
