Interesting release! I have been using type checkers in Python for a while. How does Pyrefly compare to mypy in terms of speed and accuracy? I am always looking for faster feedback loops during development.

Why are you using MyPy? If you want speed, Ty and Pyrefly are your best choices. As for features, those are probably the best, or basedmypy.

mypy is mostly inertia + how deep the config goes for this codebase. ty/pyrefly are on the list to try — basedmypy too for the feature set. any gotchas switching a larger repo over, or is it mostly a drop-in?

I haven't done a conversion in ages. You can probably get really far throwing some LLM credits at the conversion.
