@hynek @glyph @coderanger hm, never thought of this argument but it very much checks out
@tintvrtkovic @hynek @glyph @coderanger Agreed, this is the killer advantage of *any* compiled language over one with a runtime. And to make it worse, Python is far from being the best runtime based language for app deployment :-(
@pfmoore @tintvrtkovic @glyph @coderanger The fact that now I can give anyone a Python project and uv and tell them to “just run `uv run X` in the project folder” and it will take about everything including installing Python is nothing short of magic. There’s a short line to running Zip files.
@hynek @tintvrtkovic @glyph @coderanger Agreed. But to be fair, that's the way hatch and pdm are going as well. And a lot of uv's speed comes from language-agnostic tricks like aggressive caching. All of this could have been done in existing projects. It's funding and full time employees that has made the huge difference.
