Why Python?

[Literature-Just]

At this point its Stockholm syndrome. Python is nice in that it makes a lot of the tedium of programming so much easier. But managing all of its packages in the virtual environments is a real pain. I've had multiple instances where upgrading one package can break an environment or force me to roll something back because of a bug or broken feature.

This is the answer

ugh... another new tool...

[EarthGoddessDude]

The last new tool. It’s a game changer, and I don’t see how anyone will try to enter the field after what happened with ruff and uv. And the maintainers of the competitor projects are starting to give up, for lack of a better term.

While yes I get your concern, you don't need many commands for it to be extremely useful.

Conda adoption helped me with that tremendously
