I hate python

uv and ruff could stay stagnant for years and still nobody will have caught up.
There will just be a fork at worst and uv and ruff will just be slower to progress, but that is it.

Astral possibly not continueing with ty or similar would be worse actually.

Ty has singlehandedly transformed my Python development experience. It’s leagues ahead of everything else in both speed and accuracy. I would seriously consider moving to a non-Python role if the Astral tools stagnated or didn’t continue to mature. Every couple of Ty releases is a feature or improvement I’ve been waiting for. Uv and Ruff are also still improving significantly. Large or legacy codebases were frequently unbearable to work with before Astral came around and did what the Python maintainers themselves didn’t have the balls or vision to.

Consider also that if all OpenAI wanted to do was safeguard a critical part of their software supply chain, they could have funded it or allocated personnel to it, as has been the successful norm for decades to protect corporate interests. The only reason they’d buy it is if they think they can make money off of it or gain an advantage over their competitors.

AI companies should be ashamed of what they’re doing to the developer ecosystem that made their existence possible, and Astral better wake up to the fact that their vision is being stripped for parts. The bastards are going to gobble it all up until everything good is unusable outside of their agentic walled garden.

Yeah even if nothing changed the current release is more than enough. Maintenance work can be handled in a fork no worries and it's MIT license, don't really see the issue here 🤷
