Interesting to see astral come out with this right around facebook’s release of “Pyrefly, a faster Python type checker written in Rust”.

Not making any sort of ethical statement, just interesting that rust keeps eating the python and JS tooling worlds.

As a card carrying Substack hater, I’m not suprised.

They don’t care about (technical) writers. All they care about is building a TikTok clone to “drive discoverability” and make the attention-metrics go up. Chris Best is memeing about it on his own platform. Very gross.
