A first look at a faster, no-GIL Python

CPython's Global Interpreter 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.
