Astral to Join OpenAI - Lemmy.World

> Today, AI is rapidly changing the way we build software, and the pace of that change is only accelerating. If our goal is to make programming more productive, then building at the frontier of AI and software feels like the highest-leverage thing we can do. > > It is increasingly clear to me that Codex is that frontier. And by bringing Astral’s tooling and expertise to OpenAI, we’re putting ourselves in a position to push it forward. After joining the Codex team, we’ll continue building our open source tools, explore ways they can work more seamlessly with Codex, and expand our reach to think more broadly about the future of software development.

Losing both uv and ruff in one fell swoop sucks.
Well they’re open source so we’re not losing them yet. Especially with uv, it’s pretty clear that it is such a vast improvement over the clusterfuck of pip that a community fork is virtually guaranteed if it is ever necessary.
what is clusterfuck in pip? It’s really simple
That’s very concerning
