That's giving way too much credit to uv.

I'm interpreting this as "uv was built off of years of PEPs", which is true; that being said the UX of `uv` is their own, and to me has significantly reduced the amount of time I spend thinking about requirements, modules, etc.

uv is really that good.

If so, ok, let's port this prototype to back to python and get rid of uv.

What does this comment mean? Port the dependency and virtual environment manager back to the language?

Should we port npm “back” to node js?

Well, go does have the module management, including downloading new versions of itself, built-in into the `go` tool itself. It is really great.

But I don't see this hapenning in python.

You don't see that happening because you don't want to.

npm is written in javascript, not rust or c#.

yes, we should bring package manager back. if it is so awesome and solves some problem.

Sounds good, I agree that uv should come with the language in the same way npm comes with node and cargo comes with rust.

You keep using words like "we" and "us" so I assume you'll be kicking off writing the PEP to make this happen?

They've definitely not done it yet, but they're getting there.
