Episode notes

Charlie Marsh, founder of Astral, discusses the development of 'rough', a Python linter written in Rust, and shares insights on transitioning from consumer to maintainer of open source projects like 'rough' and 'UV'. The guest reflects on their journey in open source development, from initial projects to the responsibilities and obstacles of maintaining popular tools.

Linting is the process of checking source code for programmatic as well as stylistic errors. Ruff is a highly popular Python linter written in Rust. It was developed by Charlie Marsh, who also founded Astral, which is focused on next-generation Python tooling.

Charlie joins the podcast to talk about open source development, Ruff, the UV package installer, and much more.

Josh regularly contributes to open source projects in the ecosystem such as ESLint and TypeScript. Josh is a Microsoft MVP for developer technologies and the author of the acclaimed Learning TypeScript (O’Reilly), a cherished resource for any developer seeking to learn TypeScript without any prior experience outside of JavaScript.
