Python 3.14.0: release

Free-threading (a build without the GIL) is officially supported, per PEP 779, and the penalty for single-threaded code has been reduced to about 5-10%. The JIT compiler remains experimental (PYTHON_JIT=1). The new t-strings syntax (PEP 750) provides template strings with deferred interpolation for safe SQL/HTML construction.

.NET has always had full multithreading without a GIL, while Python only removed the limitation in 3.14, and even then optionally C# / .NET →Node.js remains single-threaded by design (event loop), so comparing architectures matters when choosing a runtime for CPU-bound workloads JavaScript / Node.js →
