Brett CannonLet's say CPython can gain a JIT or get rid of the GIL, but not both. Which would you want to have more?
JIT
No GIL
Poll ended at .
Torsten Bronger@brettcannon And removing the GIL does not have disadvantages (except that someone must do (did) the implementation)? I doubt that, as I don’t think we all really understand the downside of non-GIL. And therefore, I think this survey is pointless.
@bronger I think saying "this survey is pointless" is a bit presumptuous without knowing my motivation behind the survey and why I structured it this way.
You not knowing the details is on purpose for what I'm interested in knowing about people's perception of both topics.
@brettcannon I know that the result cannot be used if the prerequisites/context of the measurement are unclear.
