#2Very encouraging news!

#3It has been ready for a few months now, at least since 3.13.0 beta 1 which released on 2024-05-08, although alpha versions had it working too. I don't know why this is news now.
With it, the single-threaded case is slower.

FTA: "Yesterday, py-free-threading.github.io launched! It's both a resource with documentation around adding support for free-threaded Python, and a status tracker for the rollout across open source projects in the Python ecosystem."

This release coincides with the SciPy 2024 conference and a number of other things. I would suggest reading the article to learn more.

Not sure what this list means, there are successful languages without these feature. Also Python 3.13 [1] has an optional JIT [2], disabled by default.

The successful languages without efficient dependency management are painful to manage dependencies in, though. I think Python should be shooting for a better package management user experience than C++.

If Python's dependency management is better than anything, it's better than C++'s. Python has pip and venv. C++ has nothing (you could say less than nothing since you also have ample opportunity for inconsistent build due to mismatching #defines as well as using the wrong binaries for your .h files and nothing remotely like type-safe linkage to mitigate human error. It also has an infinite number of build systems where each system of makefiles or cmakefiles is its own build system with its own conventions and features). In fact python is the best dependency management system for C++ code when you can get binaries build from C++ via pip install...
