The problem with GIL is that it's a mutex that you don't control. So you can't use it to do atomic updates, if that involves more than one low-level operation that is atomic. So in practice I don't think it simplifies things all that much. If anything, it creates a false sense of security - first developers get used to the fact that they can just assign to variables without synchronization, and then they forget that they still need to synchronize when they need to assign to more than one atomically. |
