I love their work
but it does beg the question: • Where does the VC money translate into a paid service? Pydantic has gone into the observability space. Do you build a dev platform? Do VC's just view the investment as a net benefit to the wider Python space. It's probably undoubtedly repaid the $4m seed in global CI/CD bills. • Where do they stop?
pylint
,
isort
,
pip
and
mypy
now in their sights. •
PyTest
would be amazing, but I think at that point you're basically building rustpython

pytest would mainly benefit from a larger test collection mechanism, I’ve seen test suites that take 1-2 minutes just to collect the tests. the rest of the bottleneck will be in the tests themselves, which pytest can do nothing about. Sphinx on the other hand… 😬

You could argue sphinx finally has a modern competitor in markdown mkdocs
there's also a world where they can do some crazy stuff with language servers
but I'm still not sure which way the roll the dice
they could probably rewrite the pytest collection mechanism in a weekend
