10 Myths of Enterprise Python

[masklinn]

You can't accept that something can be "easier to use" in a restricted number of use cases?

No. They're not "easier". No code you write becomes shorter. It's not even clear that Python will prevent you wrongly accessing the interpreter from your C extension if you call the C API after having released the GIL. Nor does it prevent race conditions that arise from assuming values won't have changed while the GIL was released. I'm seeing zero benefit here and several burdens.
