> uv is an extremely fast Python package and project manager, written in Rust.

Is there a version of uv written in Python? It's weird (to me) to have an entire ecosystem for a language and a highly recommended tool to make your system work is written in another language.

Similar to ruff, uv mostly gathers ideas from other tools (with strong opinions and a handful of thoughtful additions and adjustments) and implements them in Rust for speed improvements.

Interestingly, the speed is the main differentiator from existing package and project management tools. Even if you are using it as a drop-in replacement for pip, it is just so much faster.
