@coderanger @hynek 100%, and I am definitely not complaining when I use a project that's adopted uv and ruff and everything is almost implausibly fast. it's not really a *bottleneck* in my other projects, but I certainly don't mind the focus on performance that comes along with the choice of Rust.
I certainly don't object to Rust *qua* Rust, I depend on mountains of it in Cryptography and I wish I depended on more. but that's a different element of the stack with a very different context.
@glyph @coderanger I don’t think y’all quite grok what uv makes so special due to your seniority. The speed is really cool, but the reason Rust is elemental is that it’s one compiled blob that can be used to bootstrap and maintain a Python development environment. A blob that will never break because someone upgraded Homebrew, ran pip install or any other creative way people found to fuck up their installations. Python has shown to be a terrible tech to maintain Python.
@hynek @glyph @coderanger I will probably be unable to make the time to read the licensing position but as long as it’s forkable, it should be fine, no?
There is quite some overlap in the Venn diagram of Python and Rust programmers and in the best case the tooling opens more channels between the two communities.
