Today's shower-thoughts project: just re-implement Python in Rust and do away with the GIL.
People smarter than me have been pondering the GIL for years, so clearly I'll just whip off something and be an open source hero forever.
I'm not even going to create a repo and then abandon it forever, this is clearly not a "spare time" project. And re-implenting `cat` is probably my current Rust skill level.
