    Quansight[^]:

    You may be wondering by now what "free threading" or "free-threaded CPython" is, and why you should care

    But you're still not free to whitespace as you desire

      another example of "only because you can..."?

      M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

        "Why? Performance. Multi-threaded performance. It makes it significantly easier to write code that efficiently runs in parallel and will utilize multiple CPU cores effectively. The core counts in modern CPUs continue to grow, while clock speeds do not grow, so multi-threaded performance will continue to grow in importance." I don't think we're quite "there yet" but I can foresee also a potential benefit of cutting the memory footprint so you could maybe throw the interpreter onto the VRAM.
