I thought this was worthy of it’s own post rather than a sneery comment. Astral make UV which at this point is a load bearing part of the python software ecosystem. This could have a huge knock on effect on the open source community.

    Second, to our investors, especially Casey Aylward from Accel, who led our Seed and Series A, and Jennifer Li from Andreessen Horowitz, who led our Series B. As a first-time, technical, solo founder, you showed far more belief in me than I ever showed in myself, and I will never forget that.

      There is poetry for package management. Apparently uv is substantially faster at solving package dependencies although poetry is more feature rich.
