It looks like it will be some time before free-threading can be safely used in production. I don't want to have to worry about whether the underlying C code supports no-GIL mode, or trade off single-threaded performance. [0]
Maybe someday this will make parallelism in Python at least as sane as other languages, but in the meantime, I still want to use a compiled language any time performance matters and wait for the kinks in no-GIL to be ironed out.
