The biggest praise i have is, it follows the UNIX philosophy, do one thing and do it well.
That isn’t a pro on its own, and it’s also a very wooly rule. Uv does one thing and it does it well - Python project management.
the issue comes down to resources required to maintain a super complex thing
They seem to be managing fine. I guess having a company back it is enough. But that is also probably my biggest worry about it - what if Astral goes away (which given their apparent lack of business model I suspect they eventually will)? Hopefully uv is popular enough by that point it won’t die.
I DONT GIVE TWO SHIATS IF ITS FASTER
It’s literally 10x faster. I’m not sure what kind of person wouldn’t care about that.

On that, lets agree to disagree.
Thru magic Astral has funding. I don’t. So why shoulder the risk that their magical situation will continue forever.
When Astral goes tits up, which we seem to agree on, and everyone is whining crying and screaming, at least there is one or more fallback(s) written in Python which is/are maintainable by people without magical super powers.
I don’t know why you think maintaining uv will require magical superpowers. Writing it in the first place requires a ton of work, sure. But that seems to be mostly done.

reminds me of the ol’ joke
young bull: lets run down the hill and get us a heffer
old bull: lets walk down and do 'em all
wtf is your rush?
It literally doesn’t matter how long it takes. Especially when Astral has moved on.
Found the Python dev…
