The Rust ecosystem gets so much right that honestly, even as a career-long Python developer myself (and Rust for many years, but that's less of my point), they honestly probably do know how to build a good devxp better than much of the Python ecosystem.

Put other ways: the Python ecosystem has had 30+ years to figure out how to make packaging not suck. It has continually failed - failed less and less over time, sure, but the story is still generally speaking a nightmare ("throw it all in an OCI container" is an extremely reasonable solution to Python packaging, still, in 2024). I welcome advances, especially those inspired by tooling from languages that focused heavily on developer experience.



Tbf, being able to start from scratch makes it much easier to get those things right.

Being compatible with the mess that exists is where the difficulty comes from.
