And yet, the rest of the article is about uv. According to uv itself:

It's a package manager!

A package manager that is a quick and snappy binary that doesn't need a big runtime, unlike most of the Python tools.

What exactly is your standard for "big"?

    $ du ~/.local/pipx/venvs/uv/bin/uv | cut -f 1
    38812

Stripped and dynamically linked, BTW. Compare the system-provided Python:

    $ du /usr/bin/python3.12 | cut -f 1
    7832

(But also, if you hope not to pay the cost of a Python runtime, what is your remaining use case for uv?)

Seems like you're dismissing the uv single file setup approach without fully understanding it. I'd recommend giving it a try. It's indeed simpler and snappier than any other package manager to date.

Python is fun again!! Omg it’s like when I first started with python before I knew all the pitfalls that were coming. Uv just makes it work again(unaware of all uv pitfalls atm, don’t spoil it for me yet:)

I'm not dismissing uv, I'm critiquing the article.
