The comments in this thread all feel like auto generated engagement bot replies you'd see on twitter.

Building tooling in Rust? Blasphemy! You should have used Node.js, because teaching Rust to people is too hard! And it's not doing any CPU heavy computations anyway, so Node.js is fine!

unlike ruff, uv doesnt benefit that much from being written in rust.

its main benefit is that it is well maintained and does everything you used to need a string of tools for before.
