You should check out zig, its compiler can even be used for c/c++. If you have time to listen to an interview, this developer voices interview on zig explains some of the advantages of this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5_oqWE9otaE&t=3970s
Putting aside the speed uv has a bunch of features that usually require 2-4 separate tools. These tools are very popular but not very well liked. The fact these tools are so popular proves that pip is not sufficient for many use cases. Other languages have a single tool (e.g. cargo) that are very well liked.
If you do multi stage builds (example here) it is slightly easier to use venvs.
If you use the global environment you need to hardcode the path to global packages. This path can change when base images are upgraded.
Sure, but in the case where you upgrade python and it affects python packages it would affect global packages and a venv in the same way.
upgrading your base image won’t affect your python packages
Surely if upgrading python will affect your global python packages it will also affect your venv python packages?
you can use multi stage builds to create drastically smaller final images
This can also be done without using venv’s, you just need to copy them to the location where global packages are installed.
I’m not really against it if there is a demand and people want to buy/sell/trade here. If buy/sell/trade gets too much we could restrict it to a sticky thread.
It might be easier for people to find buyers/sellers on the framework forum category that @narc0tic_bird@lemm.ee pointed out though.
I don’t think they have anything to do with each other, it looks like prefix.dev uses conda packages.
Yeah it is, eventually they want UV to have feature parity with rye and rye will basically just be a pointer to UV
Early on uv was only trying to replace pip. This latest update is a big step towards becoming a poetry (and pyenv/pipx) replacement too.
Also you can comb your hair with an electric comb for 10 days
Yeah I agree, I am sure they are missing some obscure stuff. But in practise it has everything that I use and there has been no need for me to touch flatpak/appimage/snap
object oriented
Python does have OOP but you are not at all forced to use it. You can write code in a functional or even procedural style.
typing
I do hate that python doesent have proper support for typing but I think weakly typed variables will actually help beginners as it is less to think about to start off with.
indentation
I think there are pros and cons here. In other languages it is considered good style to use indentation anyway.
I’m sure it is difficult to teach a large class like that though. It was hard enough for me to learn with a much more favourable teacher to student ratio than you probably have. Sorry but honestly I do sympathise with admin as well.
yep, I mean a GUI based software centre
NixOS:
I think it will easily be the number 1 distro if/when they can :
One thing I haven’t seen mentioned is that not moving between mouse and keyboard so much reduces the risk of getting an RSI. So even if it didn’t make you faster it would still probably be worth it to find a keyboard based workflow.
I use Helix and would suggest you try it (at least to start off with) as it is easier to learn than vim and does not require plugins or a complex config. To answer your question I will go from the less to more advanced/complex:
x
then d
to select a line (pressing N times will select N lines) and delete it (delete will also copy to the clipboard)p
to paste in a newg
then d
when on a function/class usage.g
then r
.
to select the entire files contentss
to searchv
then g
then l
to select the rest of the linespace
+y
to copy to the system clipboard.There is actually a helix community on programming.dev: helix@programming.dev
What is the app?
I have run Fedora and NixOS on my framework. Both run well, Fedora is equal/close equal to Ubuntu in ease of use.
