Re:Faster CPython 3.12 Plan by lloeki on Tuesday September 20, 2022 @06:58AM (#32910096)
This plan sounds very much like Ruby Ractors, which are essentially sub-interpreters, each with their own GVL.

Shareable data is basically immutable data + classes/modules, and unshareable data can be transmitted via push (send+receive) or pull (yield+take). Transmission implies either deep copying (which "forks" the instances) or moving with ownership change (sender then loses access)

See here for details: https://docs.ruby-lang.org/en/master/ractor_md.html
