Charlie Marsh returns to Pybites to introduce ty —Astral’s bold new take on Python type checking. Built from the ground up for speed and developer experience, ty is both a command-line tool and language server, powered by Rust's Salsa framework. 

We dive into how it enables lightning-fast incremental analysis, smarter diagnostics inspired by Rust, and a reimagined type-checking workflow for modern Python projects. Charlie also shares how Astral is tackling broader ecosystem challenges alongside Meta and NVIDIA. 

Curious? Just run 'uv x ty' and join the future of Python type checking.
