They've been talking about removing the GIL since I was in primary school. My children are in primary school now. I'll believe it when I see it.

There's now been an investment of dev time from the company formerly known as Facebook to try to push it in 3.12 or 3.14.

I believe it was announced that 3.14 will make it an optional flag, so here's to hoping.

If you write C/C++ libraries for Python you can disable the GIL
