This sounds like a significant milestone!
Is there some kind of optimized communication possible yet between subinterpreters? (Otherwise I still worry that it's no better than subprocesses -- and it could be worse because when one subinterpreter experiences a hard crash or runs out of memory, all others have to die with it.)
As far as I understand it, the subinterpreter folks have given up on optimized passing of objects, and are only hoping to do optimized (zero-copy) passing of raw memory buffers.
Which would be useful already, especially with pickle out-of-band buffers. Regards Antoine.
