Can't this already be handled by calling out to a C/C++ or FORTRAN procedure that processes the data in multiple threads? For number crunching, Python is almost exclusively used as glue.
- ams6110 9y agoToday's machine learning and data science students don't know how to code in those languages. They know python, and maybe java.

- sin7 9y agoWhat's wrong with R? I know it's not a programmers language but it's great for getting things done.
- foobarchu 9y agoYou CAN handle it, but why should you have to? If it's possible to remove that barrier, then it absolutely should be removed. If the only answer to a problem is "use another language", then the language in question has a limitation that needs to be addressed.
- Drdrdrq 9y agoIt is not a limitation at all in this case. Python is just a front to Tensorflow and similar libraries/frameworks so GIL doesn't matter there.
