since I see a lot of gloom re Astral x OpenAI:

⁃ Even if Astral actively (malice) or passively (neglect) ruins uv, Python packaging is 1000x better today than 2 yrs ago.
⁃ Ruff is nice but only nice to have—ty is barely usable. We'll be fine if they vanish today.
⁃ Channelling Buddhism: it’s OK when things change or go away! Expecting things to last forever is an unnecessary source of suffering. But, worst case is that we get the community-maintained pkg mgr you always wanted!

Chill, y’all 🧘

i guess i've seen too many things come and go to get worked up about things like this. It was inevitable that something like this happens since they took VC money and since they're on the Codex team that needs good tools, it doesn't look like they plan to ourincrediblejourney us so it could be much worse.
