  • pyright

    Static Type Checker for Python

    • I looked into pyright when starting to annotate my python code, it was good from CLI but even they recommend pylance when using as extension of vscode. https://github.com/microsoft/pyright#vs-code-extension. mypy is my cli tool of choice for type checking now though.

  • pylance-release

    Documentation and issues for Pylance

    • Pylance is closed source? I see a github page for it here and a Creative Commons 4.0 license.

  • neovim

    Vim-fork focused on extensibility and usability

    • Not a problem at all, here you go http://neovim.io/

  • Python

    This extension is now maintained in the Microsoft fork.

    • But I mean, this doesn't prevent you from writing an open source extension that runs regardless of which version a user chooses to use, right? Users who are using the open source version of VS Code aren't forced to install the proprietary version with PyLance. The old extension is open source and even had a release just 18 hours ago - https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode-python

  • doom-emacs

    Discontinued An Emacs framework for the stubborn martian hacker [Moved to: https://github.com/doomemacs/doomemacs]

    • sorry, that's Spacemacs terminology. in doom u can switch to Emacs mode with C-z; that's what I meant. https://github.com/hlissner/doom-emacs/issues/107#issuecomment-747547798
