Maybe it's just me, but getting overrun with "413 x potential warnings" hardly sounds useful :) Great for greenfield, less so for existing projects. Although nowadays, fire up your agent with "/goal work through and address all lint warnings by fixing the code according to XYZ" and leave it alone for a couple of hours and I guess it's no longer an issue...
Don't get me wrong, the new level of details coming from Ruff is much appreciated and a good thing :)
This is great news! With the advent of agentic coding, strong linting is more important than ever. What I'd really like to see is forbidigo for more languages.
100% agree, I am upgrading my projects now. And yet, I have mixed feelings about this. I like to think that when I (was) writing code myself, I applied a great deal of intuition to decide when to skip or ignore some rule. On the hand, I also saw projects were developers where using pylint with most rules enabled and I have to say the code was not better - on the contrary it had plenty of hacks to make pylint happy at the cost of illegible code.
Not unlike that experience, I also saw coding agents spend lots of tokens trying to fix a benign issue, as well as doing the opposite - like disabling the tests !!! when they don't pass. :facepalm:
I grew to trust AI results in terms of overall correctness, but I still have hard time trusting their *judgement* on the *code quality*.
I sorta kinda get why `ty` is pre v1.0.0 -- it's a typechecker that doesn't check a huge number of types. But what are we waiting for with `ruff`? Surely it'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`.
I run this program hundreds of times a day so I'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 <3
Great to see ruff, ty and uv being actively developed, even after Astral was acquired by OpenAI.
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
