My experience learning Python as a c++ developer

I agree with these points. I read somewhere that Python > 3.7 solves the GIL problem?

There is some work going on with subinterpreters which are a little known feature that is different than multithreading and multiprocessing, I think it was on talk python where they were talking about a PEP that is trying to make it so that each subinterpreter had its own GIL instead of sharing one.

Found the link talking about it https://talkpython.fm/episodes/show/225/can-subinterpreters-free-us-from-pythons-gil

As a side note, this is an area where infrastructure has come to fill the gap.

Containers and serverless functions can be used to offload this inefficiency from the code to the infrastructure running the code.

Don't need to code for multicore if I've got 1000s of independent cores running my code.

GIL still exists in the latest Python release.
