I mentioned elsewhere but might as well here again. These tools should only be run on the files that changed, not every single one in the repo. I run my tools with the script equivalent of:
git status | grep \.py | tools
And it should exit in a split second. We have a pretty large codebase, though not gigantic.
People seem to forget the three ways to make things faster in computers:
1. Micro-optimisation,
2. Better algorithms,
3. Change the problem.
The potential impact of each of these increases as you go down.
Choosing Rust over Python is micro-optimisation. All things being equal, the impact isn't going to be that great. People are like "let me squeeze out every ounce of power from my CPU so I can run a linter on the entire codebase every time I save". Python folk are like "why on earth would you do that?" We simply changed the problem.
