Do you have JavaScript disabled? It is a deep link into a very, very long forum thread. Instead of pagination, comments outside of a certain window are loaded as you scroll.

Should take you to the first post, which is an overview of the proposal problem and potential solutions.
Mobile Chrome renders the page just fine. No idea about what other WebView you're using, but JS definitely needs to be enabled to load additional content.
In short, GIL is the global interpreter lock, something that is innocuous in single threaded software but a bane for performance in a true multithreading environment. I'd recommend reading up on it elsewhere if you're not familiar with it, as the post elides a lot of detail (the audience is the forum is, after all, people already familiar with python internals).
"nogil", therefore, is a shorthand for CPython running without the global interpreter lock. The crux of the proposal is a discussion on how to achieve it without making large sacrifices to reliability or performance in single threaded scenarios.
- Aachen 3y agoJavaScript enabled. Like I said, first site that ever behaves like this; three quarters of the Internet would be broken if I didn't have JS. (And Firefox and archive.is also run JS afaik) > No idea about what other WebView you're using, Android default, so also chrome-like, just not the proprietary Google Chrome browser > "nogil", therefore, is a shorthand for CPython running without the global interpreter lock. Ooh, I should have realised what nogil means. If this had been in the headline with capitalisation like noGIL, I wouldn't even have needed to click to understand what it is Facebook wants to work on. Thanks!
