Have you noticed nobody asks this about ruff?
I remember panic when Microsoft bought Github. Developers started looking for alternatives. But GitHub becomes better with each release.
I will still use uv for now.
But... I'm not too keen on the "forkable" part. It's all well and good to say you can fork it, but maintaining it is another story...
Those are not my words, but Armin Ronacher's, author of Rye and now rust programmer.
I know exactly who said that, but it does not change my point. Forking a project is cheap; maintaining a project in the long term is another story.
Again, we are talking about Ronarcher
Please, can you elaborate?
If I'm not mistaken, it's been a long time since he last maintained a major open-source project over an extended period. 🤔
The guy still had 345 commits to 11 open source projects last month alone. It kinda builds confidence.
You have left out an important point. He works at his own pace now that he has left Sentry, so he probably has more time to contribute to open source.
The obvious answer is Yes, I'm going to keep using uv.
Great write-up, and I pretty much echo everything you said!
