I was initially excited about the possibility of disabling the Global Interpreter Lock (GIL) in Python 3.12, as it promised to enable new opportunities for performance gains. It's true, however we have so many options already! Disabling the GIL would only allow for the use of threading patterns and threads within Python, which I am not a fan of this programming pattern. My preferred method for achieving high concurrency and efficient programs is to use multiple processes with message passing.
