Introduction I guess everyone who opened this article has been coding for quite a while now. You should have already come across use-cases where you’d want to speed up specific operations in some parts of your code, right? Well, you're at the right p...

You should have included example for multiprocessing too. Also more practical example, easy to understand real world use case. Also I would suggest you to explore joblib, it much better option than the built-in implementation. It have a common api for peocess based & thread based parallelism.

I was planning on writing a separate article on multi-processing👀

Thanks for sharing! I'll check it out soon😊

I wonder why you didn't mention asynchronous programming with the async keyword.

Right now, they are the preferred way when it comes to IO-bound operations.

Anyway, the implantation of GIL is not defined by Python per se, it is just a well-known design feature of CPython. The other Python implementations are often GIL-free.

Thanks for the clarification!

I just wanted to cover these concepts in this article. I'll cover that in a separate article :)
