Lint the entire CPython code base from scratch. It takes 0.3 seconds. Three blinks of an eye. That is ruff, and it is written in Rust. So are Pydantic, Polars, uv, and Granian. Rust shows up in Python three ways: tools that happen to be Rust, libraries Python imports, and servers that run Python inside Rust. This is Rust for Python developers, not Rust experts.

#562: DuckLake: The Lakehouse That's Just SQL and Parquet

#559: 12 Things You Should (and Shouldn't) Do in AWS
Your site is down. It's 3am. Is it a bug, a bill, or a breach? You can't tell yet, and everyone is watching you find out. Matt Lea has spent fifteen years being the person companies call when an outage is costing them real money per hour, and his whole argument is that everything you'd want in that moment gets decided months earlier, on ordinary afternoons, when someone chose th...
