This is a very nice counterexample, but it's not actually a counter example without an example.

Also, this was a thing before Rust. I've rewritten several things in C or Cpp for python back ends, and most pytbon performance-critical code is already an API to a shared library. You'd be surprised to run OR tools and find Fortran libraries loaded by your python code.

But can I write plugins for it? My understanding it is only implements a subset of the common plugins (and does not do any of the linting that pylint is useful for), so it avoids scanning the filesystem for plugins?
