This is more or less the thinking that got us into the mess Python packaging is.

I, as a user, do not care whatsoever about any of this. At all. If you're explaining "virtual environments", you've lost the plot.

Compiled languages got this right. The dev creates a binary and I as a user simply run it. That's it. That's the holy grail.

It's good to see at last someone in the Python space got their ducks in a row and we've finally got a sensible tool.



This is why I ditched Python years ago for Go. I cross-compile my program binary to every OS + CPU combination then just curl the binary to the server and run it. Done. Life is much better. I encourage others to do the same. Python is a waste of time
