I have always used MyPy but I have noticed some large open source projects adopt Pyright as of late. The folks behind ruff and uv are currently working on a type checker as well but haven't heard when they plan on releasing it.

MyPy is nice, but it has missed some things that pyright caught, which were legitimate bugs that could have arisen.

has Astral confirmed they’re doing a type checker? i’m not surprised, everyone has been asking for it, but i haven’t seen them say they’re doing it

Yes it's confirmed, you can listen to Charlie talk about here: https://youtu.be/byynvdS_7ac?si=JWeeD3uwXflWl5jo&t=1980
