Currently in its very early stages, but it'll be a useful resource to identify slopified garbage and get it out of your life.

Python at least has the advantage that there are a bunch of ides and fancy text editors out there (with varying degrees of llm integration), so if one doesn’t work for you there are alternatives. Fwiw, there are several different language servers as well, though I’m not sure how easy they are to swap in codium.

I’ve been using zed of late. It has an ai killswitch, which is good enough for my needs which are a bit less hardline than the authors of the slopware list, and also helix which is nice but a very different sort of tool.
