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

Thomas Svensson 🖖@brettcannon Thinking if #NoGIL is sorted first, making JIT happen later is probably much easier than the other order.
@tsvenson Maybe since I know the JIT will be harder to do w/o a GIL. But because of that I'm not sure if you would get both.
@brettcannon But by trying we will learn a lot of things that will benefit Python and the community in other ways? Such as for the initiative to make Python x times faster.
So, there is much to gain just by trying - which is also the only way to find out if it can be done 🤘
