alt Hacker NewsIts a pretty well-supported claim. uv skips doing a number of things that generate file I/O. File I/O is far more costly than the difference in raw computation. pip can't drop those for compatibility reasons.

I don't think the article you linked supports the claim that none of UV performance improvements are related to using rust over python at all. In fact it directly states the exact opposite. They have an entire section dedicated to why using Rust has direct performance advantages for UV.

Do you actually believe that UV would be as fast if it were written in Python?
