The GIL isn't a problem, per se. It's a solution to an underlying
problem (concurrent access to internal data structures) which comes
with its own tradeoffs. Every method of eliminating the GIL is really
an alternate solution to the same underlying problem, with its own
tradeoffs. The GIL has simplicity on its side.
