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.

> an order of magnitude better

off topic, but i wonder why that phrase gets used rather than 10x which is much shorter.

I think of "an order of magnitude" as a log scale. It means somewhere between 3.16X and 31.6X.

yeah that's what i meant with 10x, like it's +1 on the exponent, if base is 10. but i'm guessing what others are thinking, hence the question.

The problem is that 10x appears to be a linear scale. It could mean 9.5x to 10.5x if it's supposed to have 2 significant digits. Or it could be 5x to 15x if it meant to have 1 significant digit.
