Python needs an update:
Python would be a Tavor TS12 automatic shotgun with rotating tube magazines. It's heavy, doesn't have a fast fire rate, but it can fire a ridiculous array of ammunition, and they're working on the ability to fire all the barrels at once (GILess)
They've been talking about removing the GIL since I was in primary school. My children are in primary school now. I'll believe it when I see it.
There's now been an investment of dev time from the company formerly known as Facebook to try to push it in 3.12 or 3.14.
I believe it was announced that 3.14 will make it an optional flag, so here's to hoping.
If you write C/C++ libraries for Python you can disable the GIL
