A comment on No-GIL mode coming for Python.

I'm going to miss the thread-safety non-GIL python offered.

That being said, this is interesting.

Can we get an in-python fork() mechanic ... please?

The old method — which is the GIL, or non-non-GIL — provides no thread safety to Python code. It only protects C code
