Hi! I'm the author of this article. Thanks for posting it.
The GIL is an old topic, but I was surprised to learn recently that it's much more nuanced than I thought. So, here is my little research.
This article is a part of my series that dives deep into various aspects of the Python language and the CPython interpreter. The topics include: the VM; the compiler; the implementation of built-in types; the import system; async/await. Check out the series if you liked this post: https://tenthousandmeters.com/tag/python-behind-the-scenes
