I’ve used #pytype for >year now and recently ran into latest release on 3.11 not being able to handle a simple signature of a function returning a closure. Finally I looked into what other type checkers are popular today and discovered #mypy . With –strict it did a great job. Go #dropbox ! I guess this happens when a big tech company fires their py team ( #pytype ).

Recently updated my main linux box and couldn’t rebuild one of my own system management tools from 2002. The cause were old #autoconf and #automake artifacts. Spent 2h cleaning up and regenerating from .ac and .am files. Remembered how miserable #autoconf and #automake really are: shell based, slow and dropping a ton of persistent artifacts in my source tree. After finishing, I found #meson as a modern replacement, see: https://mesonbuild.com/Comparisons.html
