I really hope this is true. I've been building a threading toy that I've since 
learned is an implementation (rediscovery?) of the Actor model. It's inspired 
(loosely) by Erlang, but I can't bring it up with Erlang people without being 
laughed out of the room by the GIL!

While mine is a hobby project, it would still be very cool if it became 
multicore-aware.
