Jacob Kaplan-Moss: Snakes on the Web. “That’s right, I’m gonna go there. I’m gonna talk about the GIL. … I’m sad to tell you that Ted says we’re screwed. …the existence of the GIL basically sends anyone interested in concurrency running for greener pastures.” Brave man. Even if threads aren’t the endgame I think a general-purpose language wants to have threads because you can build various other concurrency constructs on threads. If you bake actors or TM into your runtime and the people go some other way, you’re looking at some painful change. (BTW, you can’t buy Beckton “today, right now” but that’s beside the point.)
