I tried all the type checkers available as of ~1 year ago, and Pyright worked the best for me. It's not perfect, but it's better than any of the pure Python checkers. Memory is cheap (unless you're buying it from Apple I guess...). Would I take a faster type checker with better memory footprint? Heck yes, assuming equal or superior functionality.
Memory ain’t that cheap on laptops in general! The bigger issue is less “pyright” and more “every tool out there being as heavy as pyright” + docker etc… but things are getting better IMO
