What does this comment mean? Port the dependency and virtual environment manager back to the language?

Should we port npm “back” to node js?

Well, go does have the module management, including downloading new versions of itself, built-in into the `go` tool itself. It is really great.

But I don't see this hapenning in python.

You don't see that happening because you don't want to.
npm is written in javascript, not rust or c#.

yes, we should bring package manager back. if it is so awesome and solves some problem.

Sounds good, I agree that uv should come with the language in the same way npm comes with node and cargo comes with rust.

You keep using words like "we" and "us" so I assume you'll be kicking off writing the PEP to make this happen?
