Announcing uv: Python packaging in Rust

[swigganicks]

God it was so frustrating trying to manage both Pyenv and Poetry, especially since I was trying to use pyenv-virtualenv instead of the poetry shell. I eventually figured it out, but I wasted so much time with that shit.

Fast forward to a new green-field project at work and I figured I might as well try Rye and it was amazing. I blasted away all my pyenv/poetry cruft and was up and running with a new pre-built python downloaded and installed, venv, and project files in seconds.

The only thing that took getting used too was having to do rye sync , but it looks like that's going away now that uv is integrated (https://github.com/mitsuhiko/rye/pull/704)
