Exploring modern Python features, performance optimizations, and emerging technologies through hands-on experiments and benchmarks.
Benchmarks demonstrating Python 3.14's experimental free-threaded build that removes the Global Interpreter Lock (GIL). Compares threading vs multiprocessing performance and explores shared memory use cases.
Key findings: 5-6x speedup for CPU-bound tasks, competitive with multiprocessing, 10x memory savings for shared state.
