When I first started using uv, I did not know what language it was written in; it was a good tool which worked far better than its predecessors (and I used pdm/pipenv/pyenv/etc. pretty heavily and in non-basic ways). I still don’t particularly care if it’s written in Rust or Brainfuck, it works well. Rust is just a way to get to “don’t bootstrap Python environments in Python or shell”.

I’m curious what issues you encountered. Were these bugs/failures of uv, issues using it in a specific environment, or workflow patterns that it didn’t support? Or something else entirely?
