Python’s multithreading and GIL


Python is a great language 😃, but the GIL (Global Interpreter Lock) is a huge
bottleneck 😢. It’s a lock that is held by the interpreter while executing any Python code. This

held for a long time, which can lead to many performance issues.

The GIL is released whenever a thread is ready to run, and it’s held back
