Surely if it goes well people will see their existing python codebases become more performant with no development required aside from updating some dependencies? Not nobody will notice it.
It seems like it could be a great outcome for developers.

Speed gains from multi-threading won't come if you don't change your code, unless you happen to use a library that becomes multi-threaded (in which case you have to start worrying about callbacks). > It seems like it could be a great outcome for developers. For the ones that use certain libraries, not for those that have to build them.
