Feels like Astral are going to eat the whole python eventually.

Makes me wonder, did the Python core team fail to see the opportunity in python tooling, have no desire to build it, or they didn't have the skills?

To be fair here, the recent PEPs encourage external build back ends (which this submission is about).

That said, the people left in the CPython team generally have a low regard for bloat-free, correct and fast solutions, so external solutions are most welcome.
