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 :)
