So, there is no way to take advantage of multiple threads on Python?

Yeah, it can be that way. "How are things?" "Yesterday
I implemented an entire web service on the cloud."
"Oh, really, how'd that go?" "I opened Initializer and
added a starter and copied how to pop the queue
and put the queue name in a file, then I added it
to git and it went into the CICD pipeline and now
it's in Prod." "Great." "It only even needs 1 gigabyte of RAM."
Surely when it's like, "the only time this framework app
uses 1 gigabyte of RAM is at boot time it totally templates
itself into a gigabyte of RAM", then the guy's like "see,
I'm totally not using RAM." Yet it's like, "well, yeah,
but the meter for the RAM you're not using is on".
At least then for re-routines, and if it helps it's quite
an idee fixe at this point, it's clear as described they can
be implemented in most languages with or without
threads as with just a minimum of threads and thread
locals and exception handling being well-defined and
the most usual sort of procedural call stack, then,
get this: taking plain usual code, giving it a ton of
threads, making every invocation one of these things,
and automatically parallelizing the code automatically
according to the flow-graph dependencies declared
in the synchronous, blocking, routine.
Now _that's_ ridiculous.
Though, in C++ with this sort of approach, the only
sort of "unusable" object is a future<result<T, E>>
as it were, or "the ubiquitous type" sort of thing
then as to overload its access as to invoke "get()",
if there was a sort of way to overload the "." and "->"
operators, and have them most simply be compiled
as invoke "." and "->". Does std::identity work this way?
