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

Just a few months back I said I would never use uv. I was already used to venv and pip. No need for another tool I thought.

I now use uv for everything Python. The reason for the switch was a shared server where I did not have root and there were all sorts of broken packages/drivers and I needed pytorch. Nothing was working and pip was taking ages. Each user had 10GB of storage allocated and pip's cache was taking up a ton of space & not letting me change the location properly. Switched to uv and everything just worked

If you're still holding out, really just spend 5 minutes trying it out, you won't regret it.

Is it better about storage use? (And if so, how? Is it just good at sharing what can be shared?)
