@djpeacher True, although I would say each of the many things uv does - with a couple exceptions, perhaps - is a faster version of *some* preexisting tool. (pyenv, pipx, pip-run, hatch, etc.)

I'm in the process of forking Guix to contribute a Python package. Codeberg asks me to select "Branch to be cloned to the fork". Should this be "python-team"? Or should it be "master"?
In the legacy process, patches by email, I'd start a development branch from master...

@Posit is maybe trying the "kotlin" model, ie having an editor than can pay (they also have cloud products).
#Rstats is probably closer to an academic language (see Evan talk at strangeloop). Or it can just be a productivity language in the "excel" equivalent of digital market
#Python is probably an amazing model for the "productivity language" ?

I've spent the last couple mornings poring over all the release notes for Python 3.11-3.14. I generally keep up with things, but haven't read all these notes all the way through before.
There are so many cool things going on! And it makes me enjoy the core.py podcast even more, because I have a better sense of what kind of work has gone into a lot of these new features and improvements.

Spending some long days at the keyboard, converting a system from Python 2.7 to 3.x and moving it to a new server.
I used to code all the time, but not so much anymore. And I'm remembering why we called ibuprofen "programmer's candy". Coding all day causes lots of interesting body aches.
I just realised I might not need eglot/lsp at all in #emacs. I normally program in #python and I’ve never used completions, just the linter features of the lsp. So now I totally removed Eglot config and added just ‘flymake-ruff’ package. It works just as before and probably even faster.
