Am I the only one who sort of fears the day when Python loses the GIL? I don't think Python developers know what they’re asking for. I don't really trust complex multithreaded code in any language. Python, with its dynamic nature, I trust least of all.

Do you understand what you're implying?

"Python programmers are so incompetent that Python succeeds as a language only because it lacks features they wouldn't know to use"

Even if it's circumstantially true, doesn't mean it's the right guiding principle for the design of the language.
