I think better developer tools tend to compound over time, they raise expectations and push the whole ecosystem forward.

IMO, uv is quickly becoming one of the best reasons to start a new project in Python. It’s fast, and brings a level of polish and performance that makes Python feel modern again.

Indeed. It's interesting to compare the expectations of a new programming language today to just a decade ago for instance.

The funky thing is that people will fork uv and make package managers for other programming languages from it. Or at least from parts of it. Win win.

I think uv is one of the best examples of why not to start a new project in Python. I mean, depending on the project really, Python has its place. But if your project is anything like uv, uv proves you can't actually write an app like uv in Python. So for as great as uv is, its proximity to Python is a constant reminder of its shortcomings.

A car doesn't move as fast as an airplane can.

Therefore, cars are useless and nobody should use one.

I had said: "I mean, depending on the project really, Python has its place."

My point is if you put an airplane next to a car factory, it's very clear you can't build the airplane in the car factory.

and yet still no one should try to use a car to deliver packages overnight across the country.

So the airplane will be landing at your house?

I was thinking that this morning as the plane dropped off my overnight package.

Depends on the size of your country.

Tell me you’re a junior dev/script kiddie without telling me
