It’s virtually impossible to do free threading safely, especially with large codebases developed by multiple people. This includes tiny Python scripts that pull in a bunch of dependencies.

It’s like saying that C is a safe language, just “get good” at it.

There are safe alternatives such as structured concurrency.
