While this is true, it is often stunning to me how long it took to get to `uv run`.

I have worked with Python on and off for 20+ years and I _always_ dreaded working with any code base that had external packages or a virtual environment.

`uv run` changed that and I migrated every code base at my last job to it. But it was too late for my personal stuff - I already converted or wrote net new code in Go.

I am on the fence about Python long term. I’ve always preferred typed languages and with the advent of LLM-assisted coding, that’s even more important for consistency.
