A plea not to use uv-build
Summary
A Gentoo maintainer argues against uv-build as a Python build backend due to its large Rust dependency, frequent rebuilds, and portability concerns. He suggests using pure-Python backends like flit-core or hatchling and notes that PEP 517 allows any backend, while real-world users rely on wheels. The piece emphasizes that the perceived performance gains are negligible for end users.
