Have you used `uv` already? It's pretty amazing, especially compared to the mess we had before!

I was curious how tools like that get built and asked @charliermarshCharlie Marsh, CEO of Astral and long-time open-source maintainer, how they build better Python tooling with Rust.

The result is a deep-dive into designing robust CLI tools and the internals of `uv`.

Up until a few years ago, Python tooling was a nightmare: basic tasks like installing packages or managing Python versions was a pain. The tools were brittle and did not work well together. Then, suddenly, we saw a renaissance of new ideas in the Python ecosystem. It started with Poetry and pipx and continued with tooling written in Rust like rye, which later got incorporated into Astral. Astral in particular contributed a very important piece to the puzzle: uv – an extremely fast Python package and project manager that supersedes all previous attempts; For example, it is 10x-100x faster than pip.
