I rarely come out and post on HN, but I couldn't resist.

First off, congratulations on the launch!

I am doing some work around Python tracing using eBPF tools and spending a lot time reading about CPython interpreter and runtime implementation. I came across this Polar Signals blog post[0] last week. Fantastic, fantastic work! I learned a ton about Python internals in just a few minutes that I had completely missed even after reading the code for days. This post also set a benchmark for technical writing for me.

Huge kudos for all the great work! And thank you for sharing all these out!
