I would love for numpy to be ported as a typescript project personally. So I can do ml in ts. The python ecosystem feels a bit insane to me (more so than the js one). Venv helps but is still inferior to a half decent npm project imo. I feel there is no strict reason why this migration couldn't happen, only the inertia that makes it unlikely

I think it is "better" to go with the flow. I can't see TS competing for the data analysis niche any time soon!

Maybe try Pixi? [1] Python programming enjoyability really increased for me after using Pixi for dependencies, VSCode+Pylance [2] for editing, and Ruff [3] for formatting.

Pixi can install both python and dependencies _per project_. Then, I add this to .vscode/settings.json:

    {
      "python.analysis.typeCheckingMode": "strict", 
      "python.defaultInterpreterPath": ".pixi/envs/default/bin/python3"
    }

and I'm all set!
