Ruff is an extremely fast Python linter and code formatter, written in Rust. It provides essential features for ensuring code quality and consistency in Python projects, including linting, formatting, and automatic fixing of common issues.
Ruffs highlights include:
- ⚡️ 10-100x faster runtime than existing linters and formatters
- 🤝 broad Python version compatibility
- ⚖️ drop-in parity with Flake8, isort, and Black
- 📦 Built-in caching, to avoid re-analyzing unchanged files
- 🔧 autmatic fix support (e.g., removal of unused imports)
- 📏 over 800 built-in rules, with native re-implementations of popular Flake8 plugins, like flake8-bugbear
- ⌨️ first-party editor integrations for VS Code and more
We use Ruff as Python linter and code formatter in applications with AI and machine learning context, such as MUCGPT.
