TL;DR: uv is an extremely fast Python package manager, written in Rust.

The performance is just a "nice to have".

Python package management, especially at scale is infuriating. At work we use python microservices in docker containers and it infuriates me trying to update the one our team is responsible for.

I always like to rant that python 3rd party package management tools are a mistake. We should've gone for an "as simple as possible" setup instead of all this.

So I'm sceptical of UV on principle since it's yet another 3rd party package manager but if it can do all of this and not be a nightmare I'll be ok with it.
