True, but the Python community does seem to be coalescing around tools like UV and Ruff, written in Rust. Presumably that’s more acceptable because it’s a compiled language, so they tell users to “install UV” not “install Rust”.
- pjmlp 2y agoI tend to think that is more Rust community using Python, and RIIR stuff, than Python community themselves. I know Python since version 1.6, and this has never been a thing until Rust. Same applies to the RIIR going on JavaScript side. Including tools that were already written in compiled languages, but of course weren't Rust, or had an idea to make a startup around them.
