My technical knowledge is limited regarding this. But I am currently busy learning threads and asyncio. The GIL is mentioned often. Would this be good for and help solve some of the problems?

@Stark9837 @Python PEP 703 explains a lot of the cases in which the GIL has been historically a problem: https://peps.python.org/pep-0703/
