The beauty of the GIL was that it made writing good python libraries easy, from the utility perspective. Python is such an amazing multi-tool because of its rich library.

Personally I'd like to see Python continue as the amazing multitool that it is has always been.

Go is the natural concurrency sibling for Python. High performance parts of Python applications should be linked to Go binaries, or simply be written entirely in Go.

Ideally Go linkage would be highly integrated into Python. There is a huge place in the world for GIL constrained Python. Enabling Python to push further into high performance environments is just going to make a problem worse.
