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

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.

The history of Python package management is clear that everyone thinks they can do a better job than the status quo.

Python package management was notoriously awful. The problem wasn't that people were trying to do things better, it was that they weren't; every new Python dependency management tool just repeated the mistakes of all the previous Python dependency management tools. uv is the first one to break the cycle (and it's probably not a coincidence that it's the first one to not be written in Python).
