Show HN: Runloom – Go-style coroutines for Python free-threaded (github.com)
simonw 24 minutes ago [-]
This is an intimidating amount of code! 12,303 lines of C and 244,740 lines of Python, which looks to be a ton of monkeypatching plus huge amounts of test code.

Only one commit added all of that, just two hours ago.

The published numbers are impressive, but its hard to evaluate how much trust can be put in a project of this complexity at this early stage.

250k lines of code in one commit is reason enough to disregard the project entirely, IMO. Vibe code if one wants, but that is just madness...

Why not just use Go?

Because you are have an existing app in Python. Because you need some library that is not available in Go. Because you prefer Python. All are valid reasons.

Is Python about to have its Project Loom moment?
