Ruby's bundler had already invented the correct model many years ago. It only took time for others to accept that.

Wait, a bundler? What needs to be bundled when using Ruby? Maybe this is not the same meaning as with JS bundlers. And why does a bundles manage dependencies?

It’s what it’s called https://bundler.io/

No sillier than the other various package managers.

Yeah, but unlike bundle, uv locks in your Python version and downloads that Python version as needed. It’s like bundle and rbenv combined.

Sure. That seems less important to me than the packages. As long as the language version is checked, that’s the important bit.
