Pydantic creator here - I kind of agree with the article. I (obviously very biased) use Pydantic a fair bit, but there are places where it's the wrong tool and I use dataclasses, typeddicts or even tupleS a fair bit.

Sad about the Pydantic hater jumping on this to suggest it means you shouldn't use Pydantic at all, but I guess success (even open source success where you pay us nothing) comes with haters.

Thanks for the article.
