The dismissiveness really goes the other way. Pythons like IronPython and Jython don't have a GIL. CPython does because it's primarily a glue language for extensions that might not be thread-safe. Web apps were given huge accommodation with async, so you can't say their needs are being dismissed. Why must we break the C in CPython for a use-case that could use one of the GIL-free Pythons?
