> It cannot be understated, removing the GIL will be a HUGE deal for Python! I am not sure about it. Python explicitly trades performance for simplicity and the GIL simplifies a whole lot of things and because of it, there are multi threading issues that will never be encountered by Python code. In addition, because of Python’s popularity, there is a massive amount of code written in Python (and other languages as extensions) and any change cannot introduce a bug. Finally, there are other alternatives to Python that are more performance focused. If you are having huge issues with Python performance, maybe you are using it in a matter it was not designed for.
