Python's Global Interpreter Lock Limitation

Python is amazing, but it has one major flaw: The Global Interpreter Lock (GIL). 🐍 Because of the GIL, standard Python threads can't execute Python bytecodes in parallel on multiple CPU cores. For I/O-bound tasks, threading is great. But for CPU-bound tasks? You need to use Multiprocessing. Know your tools, but more importantly, know their limitations. #Python #Programming #BackendDevelopment #Architecture
