Doesn't look like my Ubuntu machine comes with 'uv' installed at least. Can't say I've ever heard of it either.

It's the new hotness in Python package management:

`uv` is not a new standard though, just a wrapper.

`uv` is definitely not a wrapper. It's written from scratch. If you mean by wrapper that it's mostly compatible with pip (using `uv pip`), that's one of their adoption strategies to make it easier to switch to. But it does a lot more than that.

I mean, it's right there as the first highlight in the docs
