I think http://pixi.sh is much cooler because it supports conda environments so you can install non-python packages as well (e.g, gcc).

I was surprised to not see earlier laude for the amazing work at pixi.sh too. In our team we use both. UV is great when not dealing with any underlying dependencies. Pixi is our fallback if that fails.

Where I work people work on shared Linux boxes so no one has root access. Conda environments are used to basically install packages you'd normally use a package manager for. Why do you use `uv` if `pixi` is a superset?
