A first look at a faster, no-GIL Python

InfoWorld | Aug 8, 2023

CPython's Global Interperter Lock, or GIL, has long prevented it from being a truly parallel, multicore language. A new proposal, PEP 703, describes a roadmap to a new design for CPython that can use multithreading to properly unlock parallelism. Watch in this video as we use a prototype build of the "no-GIL" edition of Python to demonstrate how much faster code can be if this proposal takes off. Read more here about PEP 703 and what it promises: https://www.infoworld.com/article/3704248/python-moves-to-remove-the-gil-and-boost-concurrency.html
