I thought this was worthy of it's own post rather than a sneery comment. Astral make UV which at this point is a load bearing part of the python software ecosystem. This could have a huge knock on effect on the open source community.

yeah the dep resolution and instance management being snappy as hell are big reasons why people went for uv, but I suspect this will now get reevaluated (it should’ve been earlier)

pdm is what you want afaik btw, poetry is outclassed for a while now
