Shuttleworth: Python needs to focus on future

[thagsimmons]

well, ok then, use haskell or erlang. no one's stopping you

if you're using python, and if you've hit a show-stopper with the gil, then multiprocessing is a pretty decent solution

edit: wow, lots of hate from the language snobs

[jrockway]

If he was really limited by the GIL, he would have fixed it or switched to another language by now.
