### How does Ruff compare to Pylint?
|
||||
|
||||
At time of writing, Pylint implements 409 total rules, while Ruff implements 224, of which
|
||||
at least 60 overlap with the Pylint rule set. Subjectively, Pylint tends to implement more rules
|
||||
based on type inference (e.g., validating the number of arguments in a function call).
|
||||
At time of writing, Pylint implements ~409 total rules, while Ruff implements 440, of which at least
|
||||
89 overlap with the Pylint rule set (you can find the mapping in [#970](https://github.com/charliermarsh/ruff/issues/970)).
|
||||
|
||||
Pylint implements many rules that Ruff does not, and vice versa. For example, Pylint does more type
|
||||
inference than Ruff (e.g., Pylint can validate the number of arguments in a function call). As such,
|
||||
Ruff is not a "pure" drop-in replacement for Pylint (and vice versa), as they enforce different sets
|
||||
of rules.
|
||||
|
||||
Despite these differences, many users have successfully switched from Pylint to Ruff, especially
|
||||
those using Ruff alongside a [type checker](https://github.com/charliermarsh/ruff#how-does-ruff-compare-to-mypy-or-pyright-or-pyre),
|
||||
which can cover some of the functionality that Pylint provides.
|
||||
|
||||
Like Flake8, Pylint supports plugins (called "checkers"), while Ruff implements all rules natively.
|
||||
|
||||
Unlike Pylint, Ruff is capable of automatically fixing its own lint violations.
|
||||
|
||||
Pylint parity is being tracked in [#970](https://github.com/charliermarsh/ruff/issues/970).
