Screenshot of article. Guido says " I honestly think the importance of the GIL removal project has been overstated. It serves the needs of the largest users (e.g. Meta) while complicating things for potential contributors to the CPython code base (proving that new code does not introduce concurrency bugs is hard). And we see regularly questions from people who try to parallelize their code and get a slowdown — which makes me think that the programming model is not generally well understood. So I worry that Python’s getting too corporate, because the big corporate users can pay for new features only they need (to be clear, they don’t give us money to implement their features, but they give us developers, which comes down to the same thing)."
