this "documentary" has already been on all national news in India for past 2-3 days, so this is not an example of Streisand effect. Most people who turn on TV once a day are aware of this.
Have you encountered any Indian bureaucrats recently? They are so far detached from technology and science it's hilarious. But they are very smart (cunning) in imitating whatever the ruling government is doing. So if government is trigger-banning everything, bureaucracy will do the same (and double down in most cases) without ever questioning it.
It's actually quite doable in gevent, because you have a guarantee that only one thread will ever be touching those variables ever. You can have 5 or 50 lines of code and be guaranteed that they will operate atomically, read their writes, be immune to interruption, all that good stuff... as long as they don't do any I/O. Of course, the difference from a platform like Node.js or asyncio (where every async/await yield must be explicit all the way down) is that one of your libraries calling `logger.info(...)` might cause I/O, and then cause an implicit yield to the event loop, and break your atomicity without you knowing about it. But if you don't log, and you just work in memory, with code you own or have audited to not do I/O, the sky's the limit. And you almost always want this kind of well-tested, non-logging, high-performance abstraction layer around global mutable state access anyways.
