Pyrefly is awesome. Anyone using Pyright (the default Python support in Cursor) should switch today.

Today I spent 8 hours to change 2 lines of code ( https://t.co/2mw1LKDqQk). That involved: * 30,342,810 line example that caused a crash * 97 compilations * 1.3Gb of log files * 6 historic diffs * 3 computers * 2 whiteboards of notes It's like a day long logic puzzle :)

I don't recommend developing two build systems, and then switching from one to the other, but that's what we at Jane Street accidentally did. And what a journey it was! In the end, we're finally using Dune to build all our 70M+ lines of OCaml & Python 🙌 https://t.co/qYfW5y45uE

My Haskell Uniplate library got ported to Rust - https://t.co/OrhwJ8ozFq. Allows doing traversals by type, eg making it easy to work with big syntax trees. I've been using these ideas in Rust a while (eg https://t.co/ZuPXL7NBvG) but happily someone made them a proper library!
