Brian #2: uv build backend is now stable + other Astral news

• The uv build backend is now stable

  • Tim Hopper via Python Developer Tooling Handbook

• From Charlie Marsh

  • “The uv build backend is now stable, and considered ready for production use. An alternative to setuptools, hatchling, etc. for pure Python projects, with a focus on good defaults, user-friendly error messages, and performance. When used with uv, it's 10-35x faster.”

  • “(In a future release, we'll make this the default.)”
