Pythons existing threading support (via the threading module) can already do true concurrency just fine. Concurrency and parallelism are not the same thing. The GIL limits parallelism, making separate OS threads operate concurrently but not in parallel. Removing the GIL will allow threads in python programs to operate concurrently and in parallel. https://go.dev/blog/waza-talk https://go.dev/blog/waza-talk
