Sorry, I should have said CPython. Interestingly enough, there have been quite a few attempts at removing the GIL from CPython, too: http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2001-August/0170...

You! Reading about all the cool stuff you guys did with GOOL is the reason I got into Lisp. Awesome to see that you post here on HN. :)

printf() is fine if you just want to see if something is being run (assuming, of course, you recognize the flushing caveat we're discussing). If you're dumping printf()s all over the place to see exactly what flow your program is taking at

wtf? Everything you could want to know about networking is on Wikipedia. Just jump to a Wiki page for some random networking thing (like the OSI model, CSMA/CD, CIDR, etc.) and click around for a while. If you're not capable of using the va
