Basedpyright is not rust but it's a fork of pyright with added features that are otherwise locked in vscode

[f311a]

It's written in Typescript, which is a super weird choice.

Wasn’t pyright made specifically for VSCode? That would explain TS.

It's also horrible for fasle positives unless your project happens to be the exact same setup as the maintainers' - I had to turn off the actual type checking on it. I've since moved wholesale to the Ty alpha and it feels a hell of a lot smarter.

It also inherits the unfortunate attitude of Pyright that it will warn against idiomatic Python (EAFP) in favour of non-idiomatic Python (LBYL):

I'm sorry, I can't take seriously any piece of software which decided to prefix the previous version's name with "based". I'm aware this is a me problem.

[wiseowise]

Definitely this. I commend author of BPyright, but clown (?) avatar, unknown identity of maintainer, and name of the fork rub me off wrong way.

[cruffle_duffle]

Hah. I love the name. It implies that whatever the original “pyright” was doing wasn’t keepin’ it real. This new version, it’s “based” so it must be somehow more “real” and “grounded” and “legit”.

All I know is it is much more strict about stuff than pylance was.

Also a me problem!
