If Python becomes everything that you want from your proposal, how will 
it be *better* rather than just easier?

"I am uncertain why you are so averse about making threading easier to handle and to maintain. If you bother about 'easier', let's call it 'code works more reliably', 'code is more readable', 'code has lesser side-effects', 'code produces lesser races'."

This quoted: what is your definition of better?

Best,

PS: there is no such thing as **better* (at least from my perspective). It all comes down to a personal definition. Watching https://vimeo.com/79539317 , I can tell that there much more potential for improvements under the hoods. However, the public API for the "end developers" should be made and stay as simple as possible. Just for the sake of "getting things done".
