@zhuowei Yup, quite aware of it. I do lots of multithreaded stuff, but when the threads use the standard Python interpreter I tend to create multiple processes instead.

@zhuowei ha. the word "global" is a kind of architectural smell for scalability, imo

(and I wuv Python, its served me well. but Golang's concurrency story is sooo much nicer.)
