Comment on OpenAI tries to build its coding cred, acquires Python toolmaker Astral
partofthevoice@lemmy.zip 4 days agoThat’s not how competition works. Astral made a different product, served different audiences, and the markets were not competitive. Astral made tools that help a human developer organize and maintain their code. Nothing to do with chatbots. The team now being at OpenAI means jack shit about anticompetitive practices.
This is sad because Astral made good open source tools and I don’t trust OpenAI to keep that up.
