> GIL stands for the Global Interpreter Lock, which python has been criticized for a lot.

It's pretty clear the GP knows what a GIL is, he's wondering if Perl 6 is truly GIL-free, or if it "just" abstracts out the GIL using language primitives for a forking multiprocess system (already, that's a nice step, but it's not "GIL-free").

I'd like to know the same thing.
