Speed Up Python Type Checking with Pyrefly

Type check your Python codebase 15x faster with Pyrefly ⚡ Tools like MyPy and Pyright process files sequentially, so larger codebases lead to longer wait times. Pyrefly, Meta's Rust-based type checker, runs checks in parallel, keeping performance nearly constant as your codebase grows. Key features: • Re-checks only changed modules for faster incremental runs • Automatically infers types for variables and return values On the PyTorch codebase, Pyrefly completes a full check in 2.4 seconds, about 15x faster than Pyright and 20x faster than MyPy. --- 📬 I share 2 practical tips on practical tools for data and AI twice a week on Substack.

Another great option. Written in RUST too. https://docs.astral.sh/ty/

I found that switching to parallel checks really cut down my debugging time, especially with bigger projects. Speeding up those feedback loops makes a real difference.
