    I’ve been mostly a poetry guy but have tested out uv a bit lately. Two main advantages I see are being able to install Python (I relied on pyenv before) and it’s waaay faster at solving/installing dependencies.

      Yeah, it certainly looks nice, but my problems are:

      • everything runs in a docker container locally, so I don’t think the caching is going to be a huge win
      • we have a half-dozen teams and a dozen repositories or so, across three time zones, so big changes require a fair amount of effort
      • we just got through porting to poetry to split into dependency groups, and going back to not having that is a tough sell

      So for me, it needs to at least have feature parity w/ poetry to seriously consider.
