    global interpreter lock disabled + JIT Compiler = Python becomes self conscious

    I’m super curious. This was long in the making and finally people can test it. I still have to read the details, so I’ll spare you with my questions at the moment. I wonder if these will become the default in the future and how it compares against compiled languages. Hopefully it doesn’t take too long for Arch to upgrade.
