and Python (using setuptools) could coexist was straight-forward, and the repository also works as
[a template](https://github.com/speice-io/release-the-gil-pybind11/settings) for future projects.
TODO: Include anything about how Pybind11 and Cython are similar because of compilation to C++?
Maybe also talk about project setup being a good deal more complicated?
On a technical level, there's a great deal of overlap between Pybind11 and Cython. Where Pybind11
starts with C++ and facilitates interaction with the interpreter, Cython starts with a Python-like
language and facilitates interaction with other code written in C++. In a way, Pybind11 is for C++
developers who want to interact with Python, and Cython is for Python developers who want to
interact with C++.
Just like the previous post, we'll examine a simple Fibonacci sequence implementation to demonstrate
how Python's threading model interacts with Pybind11:
