I've sometimes had uv take up to 200ms to install packages, so you could feel a slight delay between pressing enter and the next shell prompt

You don't have that problem with Poetry. You go make a cup of coffee for a couple minutes, and it's usually done when you come back.

It's funny when the exact same thing was probably said about pipenv and poetry
I've had poetry sit there for minutes resolving dependencies at a previous company. I thought something was broken... it probably was... but it did eventually complete.
I've had poetry take so long that I've just deleted the whole cache/poetry list and reinstalled the packages rather than wait for poetry to figure out whatever dependency hell it found itself in. I switched to uv the minute i tried it out
lol. Yes, I've done the same thing. haha. I couldn't do that at a previous company cause they were pretty anal about mass updates to poetry.lock
