How does that solve the problem that uv isn't a drop-in replacement? Are they going to implement the whole of pip, warts and all? Unlikely, because even though its in rust, they're getting a fair bit of speedup by making assumptions (see their ruff benchmarks, most of pylint isn't implemented), and as we've seen with both poetry and pipenv, those assumptions break down. pixi may get somewhat closer (given their experience with conda, and so familiarity with workflows and needs outside webdev), but I suspect uv will only further add issues and confusion to Python installs (especially if people decide to try aliasing and things break).
I jumped to conclusions in my previous comment, but that was based on a personal experience. Realistically, I've only ever needed 2 commands: `pip freeze > requirements.txt` and `pip install -r requirements.txt`. They don't need 100% API compatibility to deliver value, just "good enough". 80/20 rule and all that.
