Would you please stop breaking the site guidelines? We've warned/asked you countless times. You should know not to post like this by now.

Thanks for chiming in, dang.

While I do see that the tone of the comment was stingy, it was aimed towards the frustration I have experienced while developing for Python and this piece of news as well.

I didn't see it as a bad thing as it not really aimed at anybody in particular, more like an opinion on Python's shortcomings.

I will try to post more substantive/less emotional comments going forward.

Astral's tooling is excellent and almost makes up for Python being a badly-designed language. Almost.

I work in Python every day and Astral's tools are really what made it bearable. This acquisition is so disappointing.

Agree. As many others have expressed, uv and ruff have brought some sanity to the Python toolkit.

This is a massive backward step for the Python ecosystem, but it's not like a hundred-billion dollar company will care about that.
