It doesn't have to make money now. But it's clearly pouring commercial-project-level of resources into uv, on the belief they will somehow recoup that investment later on.
It doesn’t hav eto make money ever on us for it to be worth it to them.
If you’re a Python shop, compare
- writing uv and keeping it private makes package management easier for your own packages
- writing uv and opening it up, and getting all/most third party libs to use it makes package management easier for your own packages and third party packages you use
How's the company behind uv making money?
