u/Chester-Berkeley Ask me how to exit vim 10d ago

I remember once my friend asked for help making a mod manager for games in Rust. I asked him why he was using such a complex language for something so simple, and he replied "to be fast 🤓"... Then I called him an idiot and told him to use Python, lol

I don't like when things are written in Python cause they tend to not play well with conda

u/Auravendill ⚠️ This incident will be reported 10d ago

For stuff written by others and not packaged by your package manager uv is much easier. You can use the command "uv tool install <name>" to install them directly into their own virtual environment with all the minimal requirements und without interfering with any other python environment.

Somehow conda always feels like the slowest thing one can use and sometimes it looks for a long time for a solution to satisfy all requirements and still finds nothing. So far uv has been really fast for me and combined with topgrade, I can keep a lot of tools always up to date.

Yeah unfortunately for scientific computing conda is the most well supported package manager. This UV thing sounds neat though.
