uv has been fantastic to use for little side projects. Combining uv run with `uv tool run` AKA `uvx` means one can fetch, install within a VM, and execute Python scripts from Github super easily. No git clone, no venv creation + entry + pip install.

And uv is fast — I mean REALLY fast. Fast to the point of suspecting something went wrong and silently errored, when it fact it did just what I wanted but 10x faster than pip.

It (and especially its docs) are a little rough around the edges, but it's bold enough and good enough I'm willing to use it nonetheless.

Thought I was the only one thinking this. Got to open an issue, I think it would be nice to have some more examples showcasing different use cases.
