Hypnobear cordially invites you...

...to financially feed @leycec and his friendly @beartype.

Through your incredible outpouring of ongoing support, @beartype fuels your mission-critical Pythonic app stack with runtime type-checking so fast your devops engineers didn't even know it was happening – but it was.

Because @beartype already got there first.

Where We're Going, We Don't Need Roads Static Type Checking

2022 is the year of the tiger bear. β‡’ 🐻 πŸ…

2022 is the year @beartype tightens its bear hug on Python's QA landscape. Your stack needs it, so we bring it. Thanks entirely to your tremendous charity, @beartype gracefully scales with your explosive data pipeline, gargantuan profit margins, and supersized academic citations. Because @beartype delivers the hype even as it destroys all your bugs.

In 2022, Team @beartype heatedly unleashes:

  • Deeper type-checking. We're going all-in on deep type-checking this year. With renewed attention to builtin container types (dict, set), core container ABCs (e.g., collections.abc.Container, collections.abc.Iterable), and pure-Python callables (e.g., collections.abc.Callable, collections.abc.Coroutine), @beartype will type-check everything. Because your data cares, we care.
  • Linear- and logarithmic-time type-checks. By the fearsome wizardry of our new configuration API, beartype will type-check:
    • A logarithmic number of items of any container in O(log n) time for callables and classes you really trust.
    • All items of any container in O(n) time for callables and classes you really, REALLY trust.
  • Magical import hooks. Type-check anyone's package (even those you don't own) with a single beartype_everything() call at the top of your root __init__.py. Don't believe us? We don't blame you. It doesn't exist yet – but it could. By the raw power of PEP 302-compliant import hooks, @beartype will type-check everything on your behalf without you needing to decorate every callable and class across your or anyone else's codebase. Because your RSI-wracked wrists care, we care.
  • Readable structured documentation. It's not too much to ask, which is why you keep asking. That's why we're finally delivering good on our hollow promises, crossed 🀞, and endless βœ‹-waving. In the time-honoured tradition of Sphinx βž• ReadTheDocs, @beartype will finally sport documentation that no longer embarrasses us both. Because our monolithic README.rst made your coworker cross-eyed, we care and apologetically feel bad.

Your generous assistance enables all these things. Enable us enable you enable us enable yo–RuntimeError: maximum recursion depth exceeded

Helllllllo, beautiful downstream consumer.

Lead @beartype maintainer @leycec (Cecil Curry) and his crack team of ursine collaborators summon you to meet the balding middle-aged man behind the photoshopped GitHub avatar.

Thanks so much for bearing with us. As the many years and the versions churn, you don't just make the impossible plausible. You make the journey fun; you make the journey insightful; you make the journey necessary.

You mean the world. πŸ€—
