I used bun for the first time last week. It was awesome! The built-in server and SQLite meant i didn’t need any dependencies besides bun itself, which is certainly my favorite way to develop.

I do almost all of my development in vanilla js despite loathing the node ecosystem, so i really should have checked it out sooner.

Python has uv, JS has bun, what does Ruby or PHP have? Are the devs using those languages happy with how fast the current popular dependency managers are?

it's pretty new, but in Ruby there's `rv` which is clearly inspired by `uv`: https://github.com/spinel-coop/rv.
