I'd rather have true threading power than thousands of 3rd party modules.
The modules can be re-written. By removing the GIL, we are giving a definite power boost to the language(applies to ruby too)
- dbecker 13y agoThe extremely widespread use of CPython over PyPy suggests that most users feel differently. Personally, if I had to go without 3rd party modules like numpy and pandas for any length of time, I might just switch to another language.
- rockasaur 13y agoMost people seem to flock to the reference implementation of a language rather than alternatives. Which is why most people use CRuby even though JRuby is faster. Guido should just take it like a man and accept a pull request to merge PyPy's JIT interpreter into CPython.
