I mean, it sounds like it’s gonna be a fairly large codebase. Rust is definitely better equipped for large codebases than Python…
I do agree that Python could give them more outside contributors, but from my experience, I don’t think it’s worth swaying from your preferred tooling for that. Outside contributions will make up barely a fraction of code changes either way, so you should rather ensure that your core team is productive.
Are you referring to the workspace feature of
uv
? Is that working well?Management might want us to revive a project from a few years ago, which is like 5% Python, but for which we had to build a
homegrownhorrid implementation of workspace builds, using shell scripts and symlinks. We’d definitely want to get rid of that, ifuv
’s workspace builds work at all, really. 🫠
