[Chicago] Kickstarter Fund to get rid of the GIL

[Jeremy McMillan]

+1 IPC

For reference, there is the DragonflyBSD project, and Matt Dillon has done not only some fine concurrency design work, but he's also written some pretty good documentation around that design.

It only has to work better than multiprocessing, and you should be thinking about generators and coroutines for concurrency anyways, so why not just turn mutables' get/set operations into something similar?
