🚀 The folks at Astral present ty, a type checker and language server written in Rust that redefines speed and developer experience.
🐣 What is ty and what is it for? Imagine you are learning Python and writing code. Sometimes you make mistakes without realizing it:
- you misspell a data type,
- you pass a number where text should go,
- or you mix things that Python cannot understand. Normally, these errors appear when you run the program, and that can be frustrating.
This is where ty comes in: ⚡ ty = a “spell checker” for your Python code But much faster than those that exist today.
What exactly does it do? 🔍 Checks your code as you write it and warns you if something doesn’t fit. 🧠 Detects type errors (for example, adding a number to text). ⚡ It’s lightning fast: it analyzes your code almost instantly, without you noticing delays. 🛠️ It works as an internal engine for your editor (VS Code, etc.) to give you suggestions and warnings.
Because when you are learning, having a tool that tells you “this is not going to work and here is why” saves you hours of frustration and helps you understand how Python thinks.
In summary: 👉 ty is like having a teacher by your side who reviews your code in real time, without bothering you and without making you wait.
