I use golang, rust and c++ here and there, but majority of my time is spent working in Python projects. I'm not alien to the concept of speed and performance, especially the tooling around them.

While I like the idea of pip or uv to be insanely fast, I still don't see it revolutionize my development experience.

Installing and uninstalling package is not something I do every 1 to 10 minutes. It doesn't save me any much time. Also, activating a venv is once a session in terminal and sometime a week goes by without ever activating a venv, because the IDE does that automatically on whatever I do.

That's why, personally for me it really doesn't change much.

Where I like things being fast in my development time is pre-commit and linting, where ruff shines. Which that I also don't use, even though I work on a small-medium 600k LoC project, I only pass the changed files to isort, flake8 and black and it's all done in less than 5 seconds.

To me, the only advantage of uv is being fast, which is something I haven't been bothered with so far, where 99% of things happen in less than 1 or max couple of seconds.

Ever had customers deploy your project on 4 different debian versions without docker? Probably not, because there are problems lurking you didn't even know could exist. And 99% of them are gone with uv.

The most unbelievable part of this story is that anyone using four versions of Debian has enough money to be customers to someone.

The speed is nice. It’s not the only advantage, though. It’s so pleasant being able to `uv run [git-repo]` and having it work. The same design that makes it so fast makes it delightfully good at doing other complicated things.
