I think it's important when writing an article like this to stick to what you know about. If you aren't sure what is going on with the GIL in Python or v8 and whether it's discussed or how it's relevant, either research to learn more, or don't mention it. Instead of assuming things or implying assumed things, to make the article flow.

Articles I trust are where I trust the author knows what they're talking about and doesn't assume things they don't know.

Totally, I understand. I've since changed the language to not assume anything, simply stating that they exist, which is all I know. I was concerned that I was painting a picture of GIL being a Ruby concept, which isn't the case and is why I included it originally, but you're absolutely right. Thank you for the feedback, really appreciate it!
