Pros

  • Rust implementation delivers order-of-magnitude speedups over mypy and pyright
  • Built by Astral with the same DX polish as ruff and uv — zero-config defaults that just work
  • LSP server ships in the same binary, giving editor and CI parity out of the box

Cons

  • Pre-1.0 — type semantics and CLI flags are still evolving and may break
  • Plugin ecosystem and framework-specific support (Django, SQLAlchemy) are not yet on par with mypy
  • Documentation is sparse compared to mypy and pyright
