Try out ruff?

As a replacement for flake8:

WDYT @larsoner?

that looks very promising; would be awesome to have a linter fast enough to be used as a commit hook. Off the top of my head though I think it at least lacks flake8-array-spacing functionality (which MNE-Python uses, not sure if the pipeline does). Might still be possible to adopt it though.

[larsoner]

IIRC the array spacing one is barely used, and will definitely go away if we adopt black like we plan to do at some point (at least I think we converged on this). It might be worth getting rid of it and just reformatting or noqa'ing where it made a difference

if I can have a faster linter output on save in vscode that is much appreciated :)

I believe they are actually working on an extension for VS Code so you wouldn't even have to install ruff into your Python environment anymore. I can keep you posted on this.

Oh it's already available, see: https://devblogs.microsoft.com/python/python-in-visual-studio-code-december-2022-release/#community-highlight-ruff
