Also one has to chuckle at the notion that re-writing package management in Rust is some kind of fanbois with hammers looking for nails activism. Rust is almost certainly the best option for this in the 2020s, especially for a package ecosystem as deranged as Python's.

By this point I feel reminded of a former collegue I ate lunch with, who would repeatedly make jokes about how "vegans constantly need to talk about their veganism". During our shared time he brought that topic up probably a hundred times, while the single time veganism was brought up by anybody was by a female intern after she was asked by him why she doesn't like to try the meat.

This is what reflexive criticism of Rust starts to feel like. I get that this somehow grinds some peoples gears, but come on. Who cares what it is written in if it is good software. And as someone who tried all major ways of dependency management in Python I have to say it is the best. Don't like that it is written in Rust for ideological reasons? Go ahead and write it better in C¹ or whatever.

¹: Nothing against C, I regularily use it for embedded programming, but it appears many of the loudest Rust allergics come from there

Could've been written in any other language and been just as good. Python needed something like this one way or another.
