uv: An extremely fast Python package and project manager, written in Rust

The first time I used `uv`, I was sure that I had made a mistake or typed something wrong because the process finished so much more quickly than anything I had ever experienced with `pip`.

Same here lol! The experience is so smooth it doesn't feel like python

Likewise. I was skeptical, then I tried it and won’t go back.

I just had this same experience last week, and was certain it wasn’t working correctly as well. I’m a convert.

I've sometimes had uv take up to 200ms to install packages, so you could feel a slight delay between pressing enter and the next shell prompt

You don't have that problem with Poetry. You go make a cup of coffee for a couple minutes, and it's usually done when you come back.

That makes sense, because it's Rust. :)

It's funny when the exact same thing was probably said about pipenv and poetry

I've had poetry sit there for minutes resolving dependencies at a previous company. I thought something was broken... it probably was... but it did eventually complete.

I've had poetry take so long that I've just deleted the whole cache/poetry list and reinstalled the packages rather than wait for poetry to figure out whatever dependency hell it found itself in. I switched to uv the minute i tried it out

lol. Yes, I've done the same thing. haha. I couldn't do that at a previous company cause they were pretty anal about mass updates to poetry.lock
