I understand the argument but the language used for uv (rust) and python don't have the same goal. Python aims to be simple, not particularly fast (though it is getting faster) I don't see a problem with that. Pick the language adapted to your problem. Python isn't aiming at solving every problem and that's okay.

Simple != easy. Rich Hickey has the details:
