    This actually sounds really promising!

    • They are teaming up with an existing python package manger written in rust.
    • These are the people who make/made ruff, probably the most useful and fast python linter.
    • you basically get pip from a single binary.
    • they plan to have cargo/poetry like functionality in the future.

    Edit: here is a blog post from the creator of rye talking about rye and UV: https://lucumr.pocoo.org/2024/2/15/rye-grows-with-uv/

    Is pip the real bottle neck in software development? How many dependencies are you managing that require this speed?

      The longest running tool in our toolchain is pytest, followed somewhat closely by poetry. I work on a project with several teams, so I end up needing to reinstall deps pretty frequently.

      It’s not something I’m actively looking for, but I wouldn’t say no to some improvements. But I need the additional features of poetry, so I probably won’t bother until it gets a bit more sophisticated.
