Astral toolchain?

• zahlman 2y ago
  Python development tools produced by Astral (https://github.com/astral-sh https://github.com/astral-sh), primarily uv and ruff. GP is a complaint about how often people submit links to these projects. The resulting discussion tends not to produce any new insight and the most common points IMX are "it's fast because it's written in Rust" (which is fairly specious logic - most problems with existing native Python tools are due to algorithmic problems such as poorly designed caching) or "it avoids bootstrapping problems because it's not written in Python" (it's completely possible to avoid those problems for everything except actually provisioning the Python interpreter, which some people apparently do see as a killer feature).
