   6 # The uncompromising code formatter
   7
   8 > “Any color you like.”
   9
  10 By using _Black_, you agree to cede control over minutiae of hand-formatting. In return,
  11 _Black_ gives you speed, determinism, and freedom from `pycodestyle` nagging about
  12 formatting. You will save time and mental energy for more important matters.
  13
  14 _Black_ makes code review faster by producing the smallest diffs possible. Blackened
  15 code looks the same regardless of the project you're reading. Formatting becomes
  16 transparent after a while and you can focus on the content instead.
  17
  18 Try it out now using the [Black Playground](https://black.vercel.app).
  19
  20 ```{admonition} Note - Black is now stable!
  21 *Black* is [successfully used](https://github.com/psf/black#used-by) by
  22 many projects, small and big. *Black* has a comprehensive test suite, with efficient
  23 parallel tests, our own auto formatting and parallel Continuous Integration runner.
  24 Now that we have become stable, you should not expect large formatting to changes in
  25 the future. Stylistic changes will mostly be responses to bug reports and support for new Python
  26 syntax.
  27
  28 Also, as a safety measure which slows down processing, *Black* will check that the
  29 reformatted code still produces a valid AST that is effectively equivalent to the
  30 original (see the
  31 [Pragmatism](./the_black_code_style/current_style.md#pragmatism)
  32 section for details). If you're feeling confident, use `--fast`.
