Man, I’m so jealous of insane praise that uv (and most other astral tools) gets. I don’t think ever seen anything so unanimously lauded around here.

  It’s not really on my radar, but I’d be curious to know what other pieces of software get similar respect from their communities.

Guess people here don't talk much about cargo. I wouldn't be surprised to learn that cargo inspired uv. Rust with cargo showed for the first time that tooling _can_ be good, even for systems programming languages.

  uv has been introduced as cargo for python: https://astral.sh/blog/uv-unified-python-packaging https://astral.sh/blog/uv-unified-python-packaging

Like with any social media site, you also have to consider the possibility that not all comments are 100% organic.

  I’ve seen fishy looking engagement in hn before, but I’m inclined to think uv’s praise is genuine. It reflects the collective relief of seeing an extremely long and painful journey finally come to an end (hopefully).

  I am giving you a organic comment. uv works just like magic. Python tooling is mess, uv is here to save you.

With good reason honestly. They take all the best practices from existing tooling we had, discard the bad, and make it run blazingly fast. Ruff for me meant i could turn 4 pre-commit hooks (which you have to configure to be compatible with each other too) into just 1, and i no longer dread the "run Pylint and take a coffee break" moment. I jumped ship to UV recently. Though i was skeptical at first i don't regret it. It makes dependency management less of a chore, and just something i can quickly do now. Switching from Poetry was easy for me too, only package i had issues with was pytorch, but that just required some different toml syntax.
