Not often that I audibly groan at a HN headline :-(
- alex_suzuki 7mo agoSame here. I’ve adopted uv across all of my Python projects and couldn’t be happier. ty looks very promising as well. Probably inevitable, and I don’t blame the team, I just wish it were someone else.
- ragebol 7mo agoTy, Ruff, UV, all great tools I recently started really using and I couldn't be happier with them. Sigh
- pprotas 7mo agoMonkey paw curls tight Microsoft acquires Astral Wish comes with a cost
- BoorishBears 7mo agoThat'd be fine, MS is a blue-chip I'm not worried about OpenAI messing up uv, I'm worried about OpenAI running out of money and cutting an unnecessary team.
- saalweachter 7mo agoI kind of feel like the nature of the Python ecosystem is a dozen or so extremely useful frameworks/tools that everyone uses heavily for 3 years and then abandons and never speaks of again. I'm not very deep in Python anymore, but every time I dip my toes back in it's a completely different set of tools, with some noticably rare exceptions (eg, numpy).
- fastasucan 7mo agoI cant see how the ecosystem evolves being a bad thing?
- jitl 7mo agoi think most of the previous package management tools have been like 70% solutions - for 70% of things, they're much better than previous tools, but then 30% of the problem goes unaddressed. For example, poetry does a good job at managing your package, but decided not to manage python versions. So, I still need some other bootstrap process involving a huge pile of bash. uv feels like the first 100% coverage solution i've seen in the python space, and it also has great developer experience. I can't speak to the rest of the ecosystem, when I write python it's extremely boring and I'm still using Flask same as i was in 2016.
- krick 7mo agoI think, it may be the first time I am actually upset by acquire announcement. I am usually like "well, it is what it is", but this time it just feels like betrayal.
- Fervicus 7mo ago> it just feels like betrayal It was a VC backed tool. What did you expect?
- krick 7mo agoNothing. I was very much aware of their prospects. Well, best-case scenario I could imagine them being acquired by Google or Microsoft, that would have looked like a prettier death, to be honest. Anyway, knowing that people eventually die doesn't mean you are immune to being sad when somebody dear actually dies. Especially when they die so young and full of potential.
