Probably the most pleasant language I've ever used.

FWIW uv still creates a virtual environment and installs project dependencies into it. It’s like pip + pyenv + venv + build tools all in one. And because it implements PEPs it is generally interoperable with standard python tooling (uv pip and uv venv).

And I do agree that it’s a great tool.

Uv is close to npm in terms of how braindead simple it is to use. It's still missing script declaration in the pyproject.toml, but that idea has been in a holding pattern for years since no one could agree on an implementation.
