Not surprised at all on this. I've been really suspicious about how hard `uv` was being pushed in 24/25.
I think the push has been entirely organic. Compared to existing tooling, uv is fantastically fast.
One of the bigger pain points I’ve faced in Python is dependency resolution. conda could take 30-60 minutes in some cases. uv took seconds.
A serious quality of life improvement.
> dependency resolution. conda could take 30-60 minutes
Quite literally this is what first raised the alarm bells for me. Dependency resolution complexity is more of a symptom. If that delay ends up being the point where Ops finally agrees that things have gone very wrong, then fixing that delay is not really helping hire the maintenance folks that can make those dependencies.. well, "dependable" again.
uv replaces pip (and venv, and pipx, and more), not conda. If you want a uv-equivalent that replaces conda, then look at pixi: https://pixi.prefix.dev/

"was being pushed" ... by whom? I think there's widespread grassroots support for it because it's a good tool.
Hey now, I was a completely organic shill! I worked for free!
uv and ruff are incredible tools for python development, and I've loved my time using ty. This acquisition is absolutely terrible.
