Talk: Ruby's GVL Under The Microscope

Context

This is the first talk I have ever given. A lot of nerves, but I am very grateful for this opportunity by Blr Ruby Meetup group. It felt really good, hopefully, I can do this more in the future.

Both the talk video and slides are attached below. Also if you want to understand the GVL a bit more, attaching a few great resources you can go through.

Few things i learned there
