alt Hacker News> We don’t have proper free-threading support yet, but we’re aiming for that in 3.15/3.16. The JIT is now back on track.
I recently read an interview about implementing free-threading and getting modifications through the ecosystem to really enable it: https://alexalejandre.com/programming/interview-with-ngoldba...
The guy said he hopes the free-threaded build'll be the only one in "3.16 or 3.17", I wonder if that should apply to the JIT too or how the JIT and interpreter interact.
I continue to believe that free-threading hurts performance more than it helps and Python should abandon it.
Having to have thread safe code all over the place just for the 1% of users who need to have multi-threading in Python and can't use subinterpreters for some reason is nuts.
