Description

https://docs.astral.sh/uv/

From the same creators as ruff, uv can be a much faster replacement for pip and pip-compile, but also has poetry-like dependency management features. There is concern that it is a VC-funded tool for something that is so critical to the ecosystem, but it's all based on PEPs and also should be forkable.
