What Hacker News says

Better late than never :) FB people have great experience with introducing typing into weakly typed languages (e.g. PHP vs Hack). So I actually started using pyre-check in place of mypy. The tool is really great and fast. I also like pysa quite a lot. Pyright only came into focus because it was best Python LSP implementation for NeoVim, and it is also the default for helix-editor which I play with. It's also nice that I could suggest pyright for some younger colleagues using VisualStudio Code (with strict mode enabled of course). P.S. I'm also using other interesting tools and libraries from FB (Instagram) like libcst [1] or fixit [2] [1] https://github.com/Instagram/LibCST/ [2] https://github.com/Instagram/Fixit
