You can’t just call everything that doesn’t agree with your opinion FUD…
Because, you know, they make a valid (flamebatish) point, the ‘easiest’ way to get performance out of python is to wrap the critical code in another language as an extension. Removing the GIL isn’t going to change this no matter how careful it is designed.
FUD isn't just a meaningless phrase, it means fear, uncertainty and doubt. Nearly every comment against GIL removal makes vague claims about this causing stability issues in a large amount of code that possibly, might, perhaps depend on it without even being aware of it. Yet there is not a single example given that holds up to even basic scrutiny. This is quite literally a textbook case of FUD.
