I'm not sure about Rye, but I've been experimenting with uv as a replacement for pip-tools and so far I'm impressed. I've been using and contributing to pip-tools for years now but it has a few quirks that I don't like. uv seems to solve them already, and it's way faster. There's a few bits I don't like in uv, but I intend to submit patches soon. The one thing I think sets these projects back is the naming. Rye, uv... They just aren't as good names as pip, pip-tools, venv etc. This could make it harder to convince people of their legitimacy. But I could be wrong, maybe they will succeed based on their merits. A "Cargo for Python" I find a bit misleading. Python is very different to Rust and upon learning Rust I didn't find anything that I hadn't already got in all my Python work. If anything Cargo is just 'the best parts of all packaging software so far, including Python".
