refactor: modernisation of proselint #1371
base: main
Are you sure you want to change the base?
Conversation
This commit is expected to land at a time close to or after 2024-10-01, following which Python 3.8 will be end-of-life. Several tools already require a Python version >=3.9, which has caused dependency resolution issues for some time now. Python 3.9 changed the workings of the type system quite substantially. This will allow for a higher code quality going forwards. BREAKING CHANGE: Python 3.8 is no longer supported as of this commit. To migrate, update your system's Python version.
This looks fantastic @Nytelife26! I see the last commit here is from July, is there much more that needs to be done? |
I am in the process of porting proselint in its entirety, which became a necessity after an unfortunate conflict arose with the original author of the refactor. I see this as the best possible path forward for proselint - a fresh start, which will come with performance benefits, long-overdue housekeeping, and a good chance to implement some features people have been asking for for a long time. This effort has not been easy, and while I'm back at university, things have been a hard balance. However, I have many of the internals done already (configuration, core parts of the command line, specification structures), and I feel good progress is being made. I will be making this effort more public once I have a solid foundation in place. For now, the latest commits to this pull request mark the last Python version of the project, unless some major breakthrough in communication happens. Let me know if you have any furher questions. As always, I am incredibly grateful and happy to see that people are still interested in proselint. Things were rough, with stagnant development after communications ceased some years ago, but I am excited to finally have the chance to revive this project. |
Small victories are showing - the command line, configuration parser, and check primitives are operational. As an additional bonus, all of the check specifications will be evaluated and stored at compile-time, entirely eliminating runtime discovery costs from the Python version. Shown here is the first test with an actual regex specification from the original code. Some things are not yet possible for reasons beyond my control, like consistent case-insensitive matching without using hacky mode modifiers (blocked by fancy-regex#132). I also have yet to implement parallelization, but that will not be a priority until much of the other major work is complete; although, it should be as trivial as adding Rayon and adjusting the dispatch iterators. |
this is a follow on from #1361. credit to @orgua for the initial work here.
following a request that no work from the initial refactoring effort should be used, preserved below, the oxidation of proselint begins.
it can be observed here that the time it now takes to launch proselint, parse CLI options, find config paths for both JSON and TOML, and deserialize them, is faster than it previously took just to load the CLI options. it is worth noting that the previous measurements were taken even after a highly optimised refactor that involved replacing click with a simplified parse function.
it may take some time to get this all up and running. i would like to thank any onlookers for bearing with me.
keeping this here so i don't forget:
