Not really.

CPython used to have a GIL, it is no longer the case since the latest version, 3.14.

Other Pythons, jPython, GrallPy, PyPy, never had a GIL.

Languages and implementations aren't the same.

It still has a GIL unless you're using the free-threaded build, which most people do not.
Well most people aren't using version 3.14 yet, and it depends on the platform installer.

However it is still a CPython issue, it is already available for those that install the right version, and no longer considered experiemental.
