bitecode.dev's "A year of uv"
February 18, 2025
uv hit its one-year mark, and bitecode.dev published a thorough retrospective on how it’s held up.
The highlights:
- Solves Python bootstrapping by installing without Python and working the same across platforms
- Fast - tasks that took minutes now take seconds
- More reliable dependency resolution than alternatives
- Works with existing tools without friction
- Error messages tell you what went wrong and what to do
The article lists five situations where uv might not fit, but these feel overly cautious. Speed, reliability, and simpler workflows make uv worth adopting for any team that can.
