Unfortunately I was unable to attend. I notice from the slides the
following statement: "Supports threading without a GIL (with some
caveats)" 

Just wondering what this caveats are? The only thing google suggests(*)
is https://forum.micropython.org/viewtopic.php?t=1864, which suggests
that Micropython may need a GIL in the future to fix some crash
conditions, but this post was from 2016. 

Footnotes: 

(*) Curiously Google when searching for "micropython Supports threading
without a GIL (with some caveats)" helpfully suggests "Did you mean:
micropython Supports threading without a GIRL (with some caveats)".
