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.

While it certainly has its rough edges, I'm a big asyncio user. So I'll be over here happily writing concurrent python that's single threaded, ie. pretending my Python is nodejs.

For the web/network workloads most of us write, I'd highly recommend this.
