The amount of fascination that people have with these &quot;grammar nazi&quot; bots -- some of them implementing completely arbitrary &quot;rules&quot; and some of them disagreeing with others on what &quot;good&quot; Python code should look like -- doesn&#x27;t stop to amaze me.<p>Here&#x27;s &quot;bad&quot; code:<p><pre><code> important_numbers = { &quot;x&quot;: 3, &quot;y&quot;: 42, # Answer to the Ultimate Question! &quot;z&quot;: 2 } </code></pre> Here&#x27;s what &quot;good&quot; code should look like:<p><pre><code> important_numbers = {&quot;x&quot;: 3, &quot;y&quot;: 42, &quot;z&quot;: 2} # Answer to the Ultimate Question! </code></pre> Which completely misses the writer&#x27;s intent. But did you notice that there are <i>two spaces</i> before the pound now?<p>The actual problems in the code I work with are not the spaces at the end of line or imports in non-alphabetic order, it&#x27;s the 10-line list comprehensions that are so long that they&#x27;re impossible for me to parse. None of these tools catch that. My place used pylint, flake8, black, ruff -- with hundreds of commits on every change. All that energy could be better spent elsewhere.

I wish Go had something like Ruff! A lot of languages are getting amazing tool but Go has a very fragmented ecosystem with a lot of tools but none of them feel as high quality has the likes of Ruff, Oxc, Biome or even PHP&#x27;s Mago

Great to see ruff, ty and uv being actively developed, even after Astral was acquired by OpenAI.

This is great news! With the advent of agentic coding, strong linting is more important than ever. What I&#x27;d really like to see is forbidigo for more languages.

Good news. enabling 413 rules by default means most projects get useful linting without touching the config at all!

ran 0.16 on a file with no config, it flags unsorted imports and `except Exception` by default now

<p><pre><code> Ruff v0.16 has a small number of breaking changes </code></pre> Why. Why must my poor semver be hurt so!<p>I sorta kinda get why `ty` is pre v1.0.0 -- it&#x27;s a typechecker that doesn&#x27;t check a huge number of types. But what are we waiting for with `ruff`? Surely it&#x27;s eaten whatever the old options were (black? maybe a few takes on py+lint?) by now many times over, and is even more dominant than `uv`.<p>I run this program hundreds of times a day so I&#x27;m generally excited for new features, but I guess the OAI acquisition has made me ornery when it comes to these folks. Apologies to kindly nerds who made this release happen, and congrats &lt;3
