But no GIL if I'm not mistaken. Which means you can get some multi threaded tasks to run much faster without jumping through hoops.

My goto phrase when I want to troll people: "The creators of python called it that because they wanted a name that started with P, as a nod to its predecessor, Perl."

What a stupid reason to get angry.

Especially as everything needs to be rewritten in Rust anyways

The Imperial system is not defined though the metric system, the US Customary system is.
