I really love uv.

Its always hard to really trust these corporate funded open source products, but they've honestly been great.

…but I find it difficult to believe openai owning the corner stone of the python tooling ecosystem is good thing for the python ecosystem.

There is no question openai will start selling/bundling codex (and codex subscriptions) with uv.

I dont think I want my package manger doing that.

“There is no question openai will start selling/bundling codex (and codex subscriptions) with uv.” What does that even mean?

Genuinely. UV is so awesome and OpenAI is so meh.

I am not even sure how to feel about this news but feel a bit disappointed as a user even if I might be happy for the devs that they got money for such project but man, I would've hoped any decent company could've bought them out rather than OpenAI of all things.

Maybe OpenAI wants to buy these loved companies to lessen some of the hate but what its doing is lessening the love that we gave to corporations like astral/uv sadly, which is really sad because uv is/(was?) so cool but now we don't know where this tool might be headed next given its in the hands of literally OpenAI :(

Terrible news for Python ecosystem. I guess the money was too much to reject this ridiculous offer.

"But he owns a tooling company. WHY can't I have that? :( :("

WAT? uv now belongs to Trump mega-donors? That is not good for the Python ecosystem.

"Join"... Sigh. Disgusting LI-slop language. Say "be acquired" when you mean "be acquired".
