uv and ruff are a great counterexample to all those people who say "never reinvent the wheel". Don't ever do it just for the sake of doing it, but if you have focused goals you can sometimes produce a product that's an order of magnitude better.

They didn't reinvent the wheel, "just" replaced all the wood with more durable materials to make it handle rotation at 10 times the speed

A big part of the "magic" is that there is a team of paid professionals maintaining and improving it. That's more important than it being written in Rust. If uv were forked it would devolve to the level of pip over time.
