I’m constantly blown away at how high quality SpaCy is with such a small team. Everything: from API design, to documentation, to education, to tool ecosystem.

Congrats on the (preview) release and thank you for the great software. Exciting to see SpaCy pull transformers into the mix!

High quality what? Spacy doesn't has autocompletion and it's the 21st century, only a python package can achieve such prodigy

You can downvote but this is the cold hard truth

I’d definitely second this. I’m no NLP expert by any means but SpaCy makes it so easy to hit the ground running and start doing interesting things with NLP.

I was very surprised to see how small the team was but it looks like they have some great talent. A little bit off topic but the FastAPI creator works at explosion. Using FastAPI has been the most enjoyable Python web development experiences for me.

The documentation is accessible and the examples are informative. Most approachable NLP toolset I have seen.

You are likely getting downvoted because your complaint doesn't make any sense.

Autocompletion isn't a standard feature of any major NLP library, and blaming it on Python (currently the most popular language for NLP) isn't a good argument.
