@glyph @coderanger And Ruff is a separate topic entirely to me; a topic that I see a lot more critical. But we’ve been BEGGING corporations to spend money to fix Python packaging and now we’re turning up our noses. I find that highly irritating. We can’t expect this to be fixed by individuals making beer money on GitHub Sponsors.
@hynek @coderanger you are conflating two things here. We've been begging corporations to *give* money to the community, to invest in infrastructure. Which, to their credit, they have! The developer in residence, the PyPI team, Fastly's CDN stuff. Nobody's handwringing that Fastly is going to turn off their service, even though that *is* risk, because there's no alternative. But this is a VC investment. Which *could* be great, if we knew what Astral's revenue model was
Indeed, I see nothing about their revenue model. If it's another Redis "It's free (for now)!" we don't need it.
