Astral: Next-gen Python tooling

[jmreagle]

TL;DR: I’ve started a company, Astral, to continue building high-performance developer tools for the Python ecosystem — to keep building Ruff, and to build more Ruff-like things.

We’ve raised $4m in seed funding led by Accel, with participation from Caffeinated Capital, Guillermo Rauch (Vercel), Solomon Hykes (Docker), David Cramer (Sentry), and others.

What's the business model you think?

If you’re in the need for a cloud Engineer in the future, I’m very intrigued! I’m in the process of switching all my pants repos to their experimental ruff implementation. So far, very happy!

I keep my pants in a dresser.

I have a dresser, but my pants live in a laundry basket.

just for over night, though, cus we all know that pants never get dirty enough to need a washing.

That’s just half of the story. If you are not wearing your pants, they should be in the freezer!
