We should be careful not to be too dismissive. In my opinion, dismissive attitudes have hurt Python considerably in the last 10 years.
As people pushed the limits of Python's performance and were only met with answers like "use C for fast code, the GIL is probably never going to be removed", Go and Swift emerged, clearly intending to provide a Python-like development experience with performance characteristics more similar to Java, including the ability to run real threads.
Other runtime developers should pay attention and be careful not to fall into the same trap.
